Personally, if something is usasble, I prefer not to spend money if not needed.I believe just RO. A micron filter cartridge , carbon cartridge , 75 gpd RO membrane cartridge, and a second carbon cartridge
This unit claims 92-98% TDS removal, but does not claim 0 TDS RO water. Is that an issue?

I got the AQUATICLIFE Aquatic Life RO Buddie Plus DI Four Stage Reverse Osmosis Deionization Unit 50 GPD
House temp is 68F , but water temp is 77.Salinity seems low. Also, due to the temperature difference between our air and our tank water when using a refractometer the salinity of our water is typically about .02 less than what it reads. For example my refractometer reads 1.025 but when I get an ICP it is 1.023 and I keep my house at 72-73F. So there is a good chance your salinity is around 1.021 or lower depending on the temp of your house.
Just zeroed refractometer and remeasured. SG 1.024.So that would mean an even bigger difference. If I had to guess your actual salinity is probably around 1.020
ICP test?Personally, I would definitely raise it to at least 1.026. 1.026 is the level of natural sea water. So it would do no harm. Then you can do an ICP test to be certain. That being said I would make that change slowly. Like .01 every 2 to 3 days to not shock the system.
