IMO, you are crippling the effectiveness of an RO/DI if you are going to let that much crap get through. The first things to break through an RO/DI are likely to be some of the things that you most do not want getting through (ammonia and silicate, for example).

I detail why you should replace the DI as soon as it rises above 0 ppm TDS in this article:

Thanks Randy, I guess I will start changing resine even sooner than 5. Thanks for your input.
