Reverse Osmosis Water Management

Me, I'd already read it. And was so Nye'd my head swum.

Now for a question... why does Roberta's TDS start out at 10 and mine starts out at 5? (and I've been using same cartridges for awhile). Plus I'm pretty sure Roberta has better water than I do.

First, at those low levels I doubt that my meter is particularly accurate. I look for changes more than an absolute value. The other may be the specific membrane design (my unit is pretty efficient with water use at least when the membrane is functioning well, but may let a little more though) That's actually another clue when the membrane is on the way out... not only is the production slower, but seems to produce more effluent for the amount of good water. I do beat the poo out of the system, especially in summer.
