    Hey all, I have some questions and I was hoping you could help me out. I haven't had my own Rodi unit and have been doing the bucket to the LFS gig. Well, someone sold my LFS their whole setup that came with a kent hi s maxima unit. I seen it and asked about it and offered 40 bucks. A good deal even if and I'm thinking I do have to replace the filters. It even came with an aquatec ro booster, which I'm not sure if I even need. Well, I have started it up and have a couple inches in my bucket and I tested it, 036ppm. My question is could this be high due to being original water in the unit? Should I toss the first bucket out? Or simply filters need to be replaced?
