It should be 0. Anything over 5 is to much.

Looks like it's time to change out the DI cartridge.

IMO that is too high, I change when I get to 2.
But, need to know more info before suggesting what to change. What is your tap's TDS? What is the TDS after the RO membrane, but before the DI? What is your RO membrane rated for? Last time you changed your pre-filter and carbon block?
