I Recently got an rodi system and all water tests i did were very good besides phoaphate. I get a reading of about 1 on phosphate. I have the rodi buddy along with the choromine remover since I believe I have chloromine in my water. Is there supposed to be phosphates in my rodi water or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be amazing, thanks

If you got zero tds in your water after filter and do resin, it's a test kit issue.

What test kit are you using?

Your test kit is probably the issue. I'm not sure how it reads below one. If you have .01 are you going to interpret that as 1 with the kit? You would need a low range test kit like the hanna kits but theirs are for saltwater and I think give false readings with freshwater. I've never looked to see if they have a freshwater version.
