Sounds like it doing its thing to me. 96% rejection is what you are getting and thats pretty good. Keep in mind rejection rate is dependent on the membrane and feed pressure.

From 350 TDS to 3 TDS. Awesome.
(3/350) * 100 = 0.8
So less than 1% of the TDS is making it through the RO, and over 99% is being sent to the concentrate ("waste"). 99%+ rejection (assuming the TDS reading is accurate) - that's as good as it gets.

next question I was going to add a second DI can and can for carbon block. I have watched a bunch of vids and read on forums. BRS sells 5 micron and also 1 micron. 1 micron is better? but then people on forums are saying they us all kinds of ****. .2 micron .5 micron and what not. what is good? I am going to have two cans for carbon. one of the blocks is new and I am pretty sure is 5 micron. what do you guys recommend? also what order would the micron need to be in? are there pressure drops on gauge associated with this?
First, make sure that the micron pore size on the sediment filter is about equal to, or smaller than the pore size on any of the carbon blocks.
Once you do that, then install the carbon blocks with the highest capacity first, and lower capacity second (regardless of pore size).
Yes - you'll always lose some pressure with every prefilter you add.
Are you on city water? Does it contain chloramines? If yes, then our Chloramine Special RODI System comes with this prefilter set up:
1 mic sediment filter
Chloraguard Carbon Block
Chlorine Grabber carbon Block.
If you are on chlorinated city water: 1 mic sed, Chlorine Grabber, Workman Carbon Block
If you are on well water: 5 mic sediment, 1 mic sediment, Workman Carbon Block

I'd seen that... That's not the report we're hunting for. As it's a smaller town, they may not have it online. Give them a call and ask them what they use as a disinfectant: 1) chlorine, or 2) chloramine?
