Like I mentioned earlier, some of you folks on the west coast are blessed with very low TDS source water. I think it might be due to the fact that there's so much rain, which is quite soft water, and your reservoirs primarily collect rain water. Your TDS reading is most likely accurate. If your meter is a dual type, you can try switching the probes around to see if you get any significant variance in readings between the two. Or beg, borrow another meter to validate your own. And rejoice, your DI media, if you have it, will last a very long time.

One of the big advantages of a DI system is that is produces fairly consistent results which means you have a solid, year-round baseline to work from when it comes to the water you put in your tank.
Sometimes moving even a few blocks across town can give you different water and blam! algae bloom. It removes one level of mystery in the hobby. I'd recommend you make the (relatively small) investment and get the filter.
