TDS reading

Hi All...

I am new to this board but have found tons of great information.
I recently bought a 4 Stage Reverse Osmosis / Deionization Oceanus System from www.aquaticreefsystems.com with a Primo TDS meter. I am just wondering if I took a sample from my Saltwater tank what should the TDS reading be near?

I have finally got the RO/DI system dialed in. It has about a 3 to 1 ratio of waste/good water. That seems resonable based on the reasearch I have done.

The RO/DI system contains
- Oceanus 100 GPD RO/DI
- Primo TDS Meter
- Membrane Flush Kit
- Aquatech 8800 booster pump
- Variable pressure control

Based on my numbers I can actually produce around 180 gallons of water/day.

Hey Killian,
I've got the Oceanus but without the booster pump. The water comes out with a "0" reading on the TDS meter. Saltwater is off it's scale!!!! If you try it, be sure to rinse it well with RO water.

I do get a 0 reading from the Oceanus.

Thanks
