RO TDS READING 1ppm

Hello I was filling up my water change barrel and didn’t realise the TDS had gone to 1ppm would you still use it?

I’ve changed the di now and it’s reading 0ppm

Thanks

1ppm is not really a large concern, especially if it's an exception. I've often used water with TDS between 2-5ppm without any real consequences.

Nothing to worry about, maybe 1ppm, maybe just reading error, I have used up to 5ppm forever with no ill effects

Just finished a batch at 3ppm, then 4ppm, oh no, back to 3...

I sneeze to 1ppm
