Ok .. I live in Magna .. and evan though I run my water threw a 5 stage filtration unit my TDS is still very high ... (225 PPM) ... the water comming into the filter is upwords of 1200 PPM ... so I was wondering if I was able to run the water threw the 5 stage filter .. than threw yet another RO filter ... or bascally run it threw 2 RO filters ... than threw the DI chamber?

Dose anyone do this? ... and would it help lower the TDS getting into my tank? ... I would like to get the TDS down to >5 PPM

probably just a di, but there are two issues as I see it, either your ro membrane has a leak, or the particles are small enough to get past the ro membrane, which a di may help with.

IMHO, 225 is a pretty small number as long as you are doing water changes you should be fine, with it as it is, there are many people that are using tap water.
