Why have you only half filled it?  Fill it up and see what the reading is.

the di will bring it to 000ppm on its own. it just wont last very long. fill it up and you will see.

but in the long run you would be cheaper with ro

if you fill it up, it will still go through lots of resin,  the tds is to high for just a di only

depends but how much water have you put through it before it went up to 20?

it should have still gave you 000 for a short while. it could be the riser tube is not sealed properly

by the way i agree you need ro as well but even at 220ppm you should still get 1000litres of water at 000ppm in a 11l di vessel
