test each one separately to get individual tds reading. These small ro systems sometimes take a little while to settle down properly. Also your mains tap water tds could have risen.

When I changed my 450 gpd membranes it took a while for it to settle back down to an acceptable level, as it was before I needed to change them.

Water temperature increase due to warmer water Total disolved solids will increase .

It might be worth checking the seal on the membrane outer , the big skirt one if you like thats held on with the tape , I once had a cheapie membrane that puckered a bit and did not seal properly .
All i did was take the seal off the old membrane and tape it on the new one , Tds fell straight away .

Might be an idea to speak to Doug about it as he will be able to help you.

Had to change my membranes a couple of times over the years.
Did you change all the prefilters and flush to waste for 1/2 hour? I also change the flow restrictor valve and then backflush for a while before using.
