Finished plumbing the tank, and I'm ready for my first fill(leak test), but when I tested my RO water it had a TDS of 6. I have a new membrane and DI coming on Monday, but I'm anxious.
Should I start making the water, or should I wait until I get the new filters on Monday?

If your just leak testing it and not planning on keeping it full, I would not worry about a think. If you plan on keeping it full, I would wait until the new filters arive.

A tds of six is pretty dang good, but obviously zero is the goal. I change my ro/di when I reach 5 tds with no ill effects. I am impatient, so I would probably go with it if I were yuo, but then later on down the line if you have an algae issues, you will always blame it on this decision. :)

And I'd probably kill myself for rushing it. I think I'm waiting.

Thanks.
