not sure if the chemistry forum is the best place to post this, but I think Ro-di systems have a lot to do with chemistry. So five months ago I purchased this countertop R Odi system because I had made some blunders with my 6 stage RODI system. I failed to put a float valve and consequently few times because of my dumb **** not paying attention had overflow one was quite bad. And I just told the landlord I'd get rid of it. I'm a divorcee and currently renting intending on buying my own home next year and likely I'll reinstall 6 stage ro di then , with the float valve as a safety stopgap mechanism.
and in the case, I'll show a couple pictures so my largest tank which is the red sea 52 gallon system has my most expensive coral and I have only used ro di water from my LFS for this one but the other two smaller tanks I've only used the four stage ro-di water since July 10 of this year, is when I purchased it. You can tell me if there's any difference in the health of the tanks. And here is a link to what I purchased:

also, as a note, with my 6 stage system I was getting PPM levels of .05 and lower. This countertop system is generally showing me an average of about I guess .17 PPM per million but sometimes I'll see it up to like 50 or 60 momentarily.

.17 is fine . Even 1 is fine.
When it’s off, it can have creep . This is where regular water creeps into your good water output. This might be why you see your 50.
