Hi  folks,
            does chlorine in the water effect the tds and your resin usage  level and if so what is the best way to solve it,
                Thanks for all the great help,
                                                           Liam.

Carbon filters are used to remove chlorine.
Chlorine destroys  thin film reverse osmosis membranes which is why it is essential to have a carbon filter prior to the membranes.
If you are just using DI it would be a good idea to have a carbon pre-filter.

I put a cupful of bleach in my water tank whenever I see the beginnings of algae and it doesn't seem to affect the TDS or shorten resin usage.

I'm Di only (no filters).

TDS = Total Disolved Solids.

Chlorine and Bleach are not solids, hence aren't picked up by the meter.

If you leave chlorine on a surface to evaporate you will be left with a white powder that is the solids that are disolved to make bleach.

So how come you can't measure any TDS drop after the prefilters.
