I filled my ro chamber this morning with 0 tds water. After i put my hand in there to adjust the ato pump. My tds went to 7ppm is that normal or should i be worried?

So your ato reservoir is only fresh water yes? Could it have been month old water (for instance) that already had tds?

So i filled the RO chamber. It was 0. Put the tunze in pump. Still 0. Put my hand to adjust the pump boom 7. Is that an issue im kinda worried?Or some build up within the ATO pump before the pump was disturbed.
How large is your ro chamber to the size of your reef?So i filled the RO chamber. It was 0. Put the tunze in pump. Still 0. Put my hand to adjust the pump boom 7. Is that an issue im kinda worried?
I believe its 3 gallons if im not mistakenHow large is your ro chamber to the size of your reef?
Okay, how many gallons is your reef tank?I believe its 3 gallons if im not mistaken
Yes cleaned and still 7 is that really a big issue?Are you using a handheld tds meter? Was it cleaned with distilled water after last use? Could easily alter reading.

Like i said my cartidges are new 1 week old. I tested my tds before i filled and after it was 0. Its just after i put my handSo the bottom most bottom line in successful reefing is “zero”. I’d change out my cartridges, test and be done with it. If it goes back to zero then you know the your tds meter is good.
Is that an issue?Wondering if you stirred something up that settled to the bottom and after adding zero tds water and adjusting pump that was in the water, you retested water to find maybe “metals” that had earlier settled?????
Not sure but it could be why you have 7 tds. Or you have a bad tds meter, I don’t believe you can calibrate those?Is that an issue?
