950 TDS well water

Soo just an update with my current membrane the tds has dropped to about 16! Which is great for me my DI resin can easily take care of it after degassing. Thanks for everyone’s input I honestly don’t know what happened but I’m glad it’s working now lol
 
Hi I would really appreciate some input. My well water is horrible and I just updated the whole home water filtration system. It first gets injected with hydrogen peroxide. Then it goes to a 50 micron sediment filter then it goes into my iron removal tank and lastly through my water softener. After all that I get about 950 TDS. Now I have it hooked up inside my house to an RODI system. The first time I used it I burned a brand new cartridge of DI in about 4 hrs. So after a lot of research I’m going to make RO water then use an air stone to remove the extra CO2. Then run it through my DI.

Soo did all of that and while I was at it I replaced all of my filters. 5 micron sediment, new carbon block and new RO membrane (75gpd). After changing the filters I’m getting about 120 TDS out of my RO. what the heck I was getting like 30 TDS which I thought was to high before my DI stage.

Please I could use some input here I’ve never had to deal with well water and it absolutely sucks.
Im just curious, what's your tds straight from the well ?

Between 850-950 PPM if you go back I actually took a picture of it. now im getting down to around 16 after the RO membrane and then 0 after my DI. The trick with well water is to throw a bubbler into your water bin as you make the water. That was it brings up the PH and gets rid of the CO2. Doing this made my DI last much much longer!
 
Was the new RO membrane you installed vacuumed sealed? If it was allowed to dry out it may be bad.
When membranes lose moisture they become brittle can crack, and lose their ability to reject contaminants, leading to poor water quality and decreased flow.
Membranes are not typically vacuum sealed.
