I just checked my tap water (hard water, no softener) and the TDS is right about 425 with a pH of about 8.2. I already have a RO/DI unit, and that comes out at a TDS of 4 (need to change the filters). I will get 0 TDS after I change the DI resin. I don't know if you are thinking the DI stands for distilled, but it is de-ionization, not sure how much of a difference that makes. Perhaps i'd be better off splitting into the line before the DI resin and using just RO water?
Took this little ditty about DI:
"DI uses ion exchange resins, which exchange the ions in the water, such as iron, magnesium, copper for hydrogen and nitrate, sulphate, phosphate for hydroxide. DI is fine to use, and if done correctly is better quality than a straight RO system (without a DI on the end)."
