Phosphates in RODI?

SlimJim009 · Oct 28, 2020

I Recently got an rodi system and all water tests i did were very good besides phoaphate. I get a reading of about 1 on phosphate. I have the rodi buddy along with the choromine remover since I believe I have chloromine in my water. Is there supposed to be phosphates in my rodi water or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be amazing, thanks

If you got zero tds in your water after filter and do resin, it's a test kit issue.

Your test kit is probably the issue. I'm not sure how it reads below one. If you have .01 are you going to interpret that as 1 with the kit? You would need a low range test kit like the hanna kits but theirs are for saltwater and I think give false readings with freshwater. I've never looked to see if they have a freshwater version.
