Is it a dual inline tds? They can be calibrated, but it comes calibrated from the factory and 3 months is not a long time. Unless of course, it was bounced around during shipping.
Maybe the LFS would check it where you bought it with their water.
But even 1 ppm is not very much. Some people are using tap water without any trouble
(not that I would recommend this though)

If you have a dual tds, what is the tds of the incoming water?
What is the tds of the exiting water from the membrane, before the DI?

all depends on the post RO measurements to how hard the DI needs to work.

TDS last time I measured in Edm was out of the tap at 168, 007 after my membrane and still get more than 6 months out of my DI resin. This is at about 2g a day plus water changes.
