New RO/DI Buddy was putting out 0ppm, but last night I was making water(25 gallons has gone through it, minus the intial setup), and it was reading 4 & 5 ppm. What could be going on? Incoming is about 25-35ppm.

The 4-5ppm is after all 4 stages. It was 0 initially.And that reading is after the membrane or the di? 4-5 after membrane seems reasonable- after di might mean there is exhausted media or channeling.
Ok- I would start troubleshooting by checking the DI. If you have the means to see what the tds is leaving the RO, check it (some tds meters can toggle between 2 sensors- typical design has one after membrane and one after DI).The 4-5ppm is after all 4 stages. It was 0 initially.
What do you mean by check a switch? I have a digital in line tester hooked up.1) check a switch on the tds meter to make sure on the correct sensor
2) change DI
Yes, I have a digital inline tds tester. It is 25-35ppm incoming.I think they mean you should ensure that it is in fact connected to the one after the Di canisters. The wiring could have been installed backwards.
You can also try disassembling the switch and making sure it is oriented properly should be two little posts on the sensor. The water should be passing between those posts.
Does this unit give a reading of what the tds is for the incoming water? Not familiar with the rodi buddy.
Ok- sounds like your %100 that after your DI you’re getting 5 TDS- if that’s the case, then change the DI and confirm you’re back to 0Yes, I have a digital inline tds tester. It is 25-35ppm incoming.
Yes faucet is 25-35ppm. It's well water.25 out of the water faucet ?

i'm going to get a gauge to measure my static and residual flow from my sink(that is where I connect it). I would agree, if it hadnt of been 0ppm for the 20 gallons prior. Im hoping im pushing too much pressure through it, not allowing enough time in the chambers. If my psi is above rated, ill put the sink about as low as it can go.Ya then you should be getting 1 ppm after RO , the issue is probably high co2 water that is ripping through the DI, what are you after RO?

Any ideas on making it last longer?Getting 0 ppm for 20 gallons makes sense. You exhausted the di resin rapidly.
0 chance the issue is too much pressure. You would blow your house lines first
