Switching to RO/DI

I am buying a spectrapure maxcap this week, but for about 2 months I've been using well water. The water isn't too bad, but I've noticed a bit of phosphates. Now what would be the best way to get as much ro/di water in the tank asap w/o distrubing everyone? just do a couple 50% changes over 2 weeks?
