BAD DI resin in ro/di system..........

I finally got a tds meter last week and took a tds reading of my ro/di water. It read 15 ppm so I changed all my filters including the di resin. I ran a test after running a few gallons again and got 1 ppm.

Well, after making a couple hundred gallons of water I just took a reading again and got 9 ppm. I took a reading of the water before the di resin and got 17 ppm. My tap runs around 350 ppm.

Is this all I should expect my di resin to last or is it just bad di resin? What kind and where should I buy some good di resin?

I don't know if this will help but if you stored it in a open bag you may want to read this.

Well, you learn something new everyday. It was just sitting on a shelf...... Where is a good source for high quality di resin?

I use zip lock bags to store open bags to keep the air out.
