Algae wont show up on a TDS I wouldnt have thought, but the fact that algae is in the water might be a sign of contamination. It hasnt exactly been prime algae growing weather lately.

To prevent algae make sure your tank doesnt allow light through to the water; paint it, put a sheet over it, build a wooden frame round it.

TDS never more than 003 out of brush head, never more than 001 direct from my 25ltr containers. I dont know Why it picks up one or 2 parts per million in the trolley system itself.
