Did you just fill it and start using it? Usually you have to fill / empty the new system before u. I did this with mine twice before using. I don’t really know why the TDS would go up though. Do you have an RO? Or an RODI? I ask because if your tap water has high TDS, then you will need RODI. Have you checked your tap water to see what it reads.

RO and the tap water tds is actually low (210ppm), I only filled the canister and rinsed it and then it worked normally, all the 25L of water was good until that weird thing happened
