Yes. It's hooked up wrong.
It sounds like its labeled wrong. You're waste water will be higher and what does through your DI will be 0 until it runs out. Do you have pictures of how it is setup?

I wouldn't run anything through the DI resign until you get this figured out. Just so you don't run any 500+ TDS through it and spend it quickly. Just unhook your DI and test that.

It actually sounds like you hooked up the TDS meter to the wrong lines..
anyways I think yours is the 2 stage one .. Pureflo 2 if i am thinking right..
Its should run.. inlet to Micron filter>Ro memebrane>carbon>outpute pure (for the good water..)
There will be a discard line off the RO membrane which goes to drain for discard.
I am not sure why you would want to know what the Discard TDS is but anyways
there should be 1 meter hooked up to inlet and one to Pure .. if you have a 3rd one it would be used for Post DI but you wouldnt have a DI resin your running through on that model, unless its been added after the fact.
I'll try to locate a manual online.

Any luck? It was hard for me to understand what you were saying. It seems that you have a dual inline TDS meter. One is hooked up to your pure water out line and the other is on your waste water that's going down the drain. Correct?
I can tell you from my RO membrane that there will be one in line and two out lines. Measure each out line and hook the one that's lower (~10-20 tds) to your DI and the other 500+ to the drain ( or water your flowers).

checked the diagram i have the one with 3 philters and not 2 ty for the hel though im just really ****** off right know that i did a 20% water change and put almost 600ppmtds water into my tank
I looked at mine and it has 2 one way valves. Both are on the lines leaving the RO membrane going towards the drain.
So I would assume you should put it on the waste line.

here is the link to the manual for the 3 stage filter.
Your dual inline TDS meter only needs to be on the inlet and RO out lines.
It should be really easy to tell which line is thed RO out.. it will run much less than the waste water out.
The waste line would fill your bucket in a few minutes vs the 2 gallons per hour you get out of the RO side.
