Just set my my rodi unit the other day, flushed it etc. Just made my first 10 gallons, but my TDS readings were 2 ppm.

Then I realized I switch the carbon filter with the di unit. (Di unit in the middle, not the end). I will switch them again.


Question is...how bad would it be using the 10 gallons as top off with a reading of 2 ppm?

Thanks [emoji1]
 
It depends on what those 2ppm contain, your total water volume and the occupants in your tank.

Generally speaking though, you'll probably be fine but why risk it when you can make more
 
I would not worry too much, but you may have toasted your DI resin because you ran let's see 10 gal make up water so 30 to 50 gals Raw water thru your DI, I would say she is a toast. So you may want to pick up a new DI cartridge

Looks like I exhausted some of it (maybe 1/4), but it's coming out now at 0ppm.
