so.....is it a bit odd that i have almost 50 ppm of no3 and 3 ppm of po4 in my tap water, but its only 60-70 ppm of tds?

I've found that I'm actually getting over 300 ppm readings (here in Omaha) after the water's been on for awhile. Some of the TDS must settle out of the water when its in the pipes, maybe? Its under 250 when I first start up the water.

My new RO/DI unit is knocking it down to zero, with an occasional reading of 1.

In your answers include Tap Water TDS, RO only TDS and RO/DI TDS. Those numbers tell you how effective your RO membrane and DI resin are. Without an RO number the info is only partially useful. Any good DI filter should get you to an indicated 0 TDS at least for a short period of time. The RO only is the workhorse of the system and determines how well things work and how long they work.
