when you have a RO/DI unit the DI will remove the remaining Total disolved solids that are after the membrane. This will result in 0 TDS. These units make the purest water available.

If the RO unit is being properly maintenanced, then the the water coming from it will be fine. I don't have my own unit yet, so I buy top off water from those machines in the grocery store. That water I add prime to, because who knows how good those machines are taken care of. Considering how cheap a dose of prime is, why risk it?

Adding Prime and other water conditiions may adversely affect skimmer performance. This is because such conditioners can, among other things, change the surface tension of the water which is how a skimmer works.
