Hi there.
I just purchased one of those nifty $65 probes that allows you to test your temperature, salinity and TDS by dipping the tip in the water and pressing a button. It works really well, EXCEPT it's showing me something strange. I have tested my tap water and get a reading I would expect, I then check the RO/DI water just as it comes out of the spigot, and I get .2, but when I check the 30 gallon Brute bucket of RO/DI water it's always off the charts "HIGH". The Brute bucket is brand new (rinsed well, of course) so last night we dumped the 30 gallons of water out and started a fresh batch. I just went down and checked the few gallons of water that are in the Brute bucket and it reads "High". If I take a cupful of that water out and test it, I got .3. If I test the small amount of water that's in the Brute bucket, it's "High". We keep the bucket tightly covered so I'm not sure why this is happening. Any thoughts?
