is my tds ok?

[reeferforever]

Just send it back and get one with a DI

i need to do a water change soon. Do you think a one time thing will be ok?

 

[fishywishy]

Do you think i can just buy this and connect?

You can. But it’s probably going to be cheaper to just buy a new one with DI.

If you add some declorinator so its safe use, you can change the water with it.

If not, i wouldn’t use it.

What you have in your tank, the amount of the water change, the size of the tank, how new the tank is, what you were using before could all be factors for the answer about water changes.

Is the tank brand new or did you have another way to get RODI water before? Do you have a LFS where you could get RODI until you get the correct unit?

brother- the DI portion of the system is the DI. Just add it on and you will be at zero

i added some declorinator and is now showing up as 80 TDS is there a reason for this?

yes im gonna buy it soon.

it’s crazy easy to add 1 DI canister. I would just do that instead if return the other one

should i add two canisters or is that overkill?

 

[Amstar]

exactly - keep your current set up and just add DI -

google DI resign canisters -- aquatic life RO Buddie deionization (DI) Cartridge will probably work to

 

[Amstar]

start with one and see if you can get to 0 TDS -- I personally run two DI canisters

this is the unit im currently using

I have this unit and added two di resin canisters - o tds

Yes. declorinator has a bunch stuff in to remove the chlorine which adds tds, and it also binds metals and other things which adds to the tds more.

just one if your TDS is reading 30 ish.
