Mine in Chilliwack is around 60ppm in, and 1 out. I don't use DI as I keep nothing but 2 clown fish, and a little rock of mushrooms, and frankly never had an issue with that 1ppm that is left causing issues.

A good quality 75 gpd RO membrane could get your TDS down to 0 and you may not even require a DI stage. A water pressure gauge is a good option as is a dual TDS meter.

I use RO water for coffee, tea, cooking, wine/beer making as well as making water for my tank. The unit gets a good workout!
