Funny how they did that, because it's still summer, summer goes before autumn, Pride goeth before the Fall.

Need some advice: TDS meter on Rodi started registering 1 the other night so I replaced the DI resin last night. Felt like I did a good job packing it like always. Ran it for about 3 gallons and then dumped it out. This morning while making water, the tds meter still reads 2. What is odd is it reads 2 both IN and OUT. I know nothing about these units. It’s an BRS unit. Anyone have any insight or advice. Thanks!

Check the calibration on the TDS meter? May need to clean the probes.

Do you know how I would do that?
The probes? Probably soak in vinegar and rinse with RODI. To calibrate? Nope. It depends on the meter but you'll need a couple of knowns to calibrate it to.

Here is my meter. I just looked at the probes they don’t look like they need cleaned at all. The unit is maybe a year old, if that.

Do you have the instructions that came with the unit? My guess is there's a manufacturers recommended gallons or time period between calibrations. I'm not entirely sure. Frank, how often do you check the calibration on yours?

Wondering that as well... 2 years in no calibration lol. Mostly swap when the media browns.

In the meantime can I keep making new water for the tank and just roll with it, or is an awful idea? :downcast-face-with-sweat::downcast-face-with-sweat::downcast-face-with-sweat::confused-face:

2 TDS isn’t that bad if that’s even what it is. Right?
If it's 2, that's not bad at all. Especially since most meters have a +/- accuracy window around 2 or 3.

Mine has done that when it's created a little channel through it. Usually if I just hit it really hard to settle it back in, it's fine.
