You should get about 95% rejection out of the ro membrane, so only 5% TDS should be coming out of the clean side of the RO membrane into the DI, the DI should polish all of this excess and leave the water at 0 TDS.

Example, if your tap water has a 140 TDS reading (not uncommon) you should only get 7 TDS out of the RO membrane, then goes into the DI cartridge and becomes 0.

Hope that helps
