Used anything between zero and 35. I've used high tds for quite some time and some months ago gone back to 0 or close as. It's simply faster. You really need to slow down on rinsing with higher tds. Whether that's because it doesn't absorb or break down impurities as quickly I don't know. Also, some windows would never come up well with a higher tds. You can get away with higher tds, but it's simply not ideal.

Zero parts per billion because Ionics says it's better.

Checked mine today and its at 010. not sure how much longer to use it for?

I havent given the DI a shake yet, apparently that'll bring it down a bit?

Start at 000 let it creep up to 005 or 6 and change the resin again.

(I r/o and resin before putting it in the van tank)
It's a game of three halves!
