I bought off fellow reefer who shut it down week or two ago. I just hooked it up.
The di canister drains to about1/3 full and holds level there.
Is this normal

Why does the TDS meter read pp. and what does that mean

Thank you

the level is normal in that canister and I believe it is ppt.

Thanks jay.

I opened each canister while operating and purged out the air.
The digital display enough digits so it reads 00PP why they wouldn't add for the M is beyond me

+1. The level in my DI is only about an inch. Fluctuates a bit. I wonder if it will get higher as it "clogs"? Leon

I wonder if a pressure tank would be good idea

Does your Puratek have abooster pump? What pressures do you get? I am on Edmonton water supply with a booster pump and get 100psi on the gauge. Not sure if a pressure tank would be worth it.

Mine also only stays about an 1" of water. I have no booster pump and I get 100psi.

Yeah it has booster. But pt might be good as larger reservoir

Pressure tanks work just fine, i have a few running off my 200GPD puratek, along with float switch in sump for ATO, and 2 50Gallon barrels for H2O Changes. I use the pressure tanks for fresh drinking water, under the sink in the kitchen, and under the sink at the wet bar, and one for the fridge, to make Ice
