You only need a DI to produce water at 000.

But if you are in a hardwater area which a lot of us are you are going to get through a lot of resin using DI only.

With a tds of 157 you are probably considered borderline between hard and soft.

I would get a 25ltr DI vessle. 

That should last you several weeks to a month.
