DI for rinse or not

What system are you looking at?

It's not a high capacity system and it will take most of a day to fill a 5 gal bucket but that's all I need.

Nice. With such a low TDS you have a lot of options. Did you see their (aquatic life) spot free DI setup?

That's quite low actually. They say spot free is 20 or less. But at 28, you might as well take a chance and see what happens. If you get a DI filter, it should last a while with such low TDS to begin with.

Agreed. Mine are above 400 at my house and I'm on city water. It's terrible LOL. With the Griots Garage DI unit rinsing only, I can get through a washing season (spring, summer, fall where I'm located) with the readings up 100 by the time October hits. The readings stayed from 0 to 5 up until hitting mid September, then they went up after each use. I'd be in heaven if my readings were in the 20's haha.

Yes, that may be my first choice now that I know my TDS is low. I was looking at the system with the RO membrane because I know they have long life and would mean changing DI even less often

I also have a 4 stage system in my laundry room that I used to use for the reef tank and now just tap off the RO for drinking water....I hadn't thought of it but I can replace the filters and use that to fill the bucket so this may be real cheap to do.

But honestly, because to do it right I'd have to figure a way to get water to my shop year round (right now I turn it off in the winter because the line has to run through unheated spaces, the most convenient and wife friendly may be the Aquaticlife dual DI setup and in the winter just attach it to a spigot in the laundry room, fill the bucket, then remove it all and put it away. And in the summer when my water supply is a garden hose, I could have quick connections and hook it up just for the rinse.
