Brown Diatom/Algae during cycle

[grouch]

That's what I was thinking. Also a home RO/DI unit is advisable. I was getting water hauling buckets befroe I got one, it gets old fast. When my unit arived it had a TDS meter with it. I checked what was left of my LFS water and it read 22 TDS, it went down the drain, now I get 0 to 2 TDS all the time.

No, you have to check it before the salt is mixed (you can check their RO water though). Once the salt mix is in, everything added with the salt shows up as dissolved solids.

What model RO do you have grouch? Id neex that as well if I mix my own salt water.

I agree, the trips to LFS gets old fast.

The solution to the diatoms/brown was to wait it out. It took a week.
