My house has a RO unit installed (for drinking water) No DI (obviously). I know if I put one on some where I would get a TDS of 0..but right now I am getting 380 in and 20 out. Is that ok to use as top off? Thanks

Maybe I'll pick up a DI filter just to be safe. I have noticed a bit of an algae bloom, but I think it may be because I recently increased the length I run my lighting cycle.

Ro/di

going in at 380 coming out at 20 this is still high... in a closed system you want o tds..because tds will build up in ur system lr /ls and eventully u will have algea problems:big_boss:
