I live in NYC, and the TDS out of our tap is around 42. We just set up a water cooler with two filters (not RO/DI, just charcoal filter type setup) and after running a whole 5 gallon bucket out of them, I'm getting 90 TDS readings out of the cooler. I called the guy who sold the cooler... At first he was confused because no one ever called him with TDS readings before :)

He thought maybe it was throwing off charcoal dust which was harmless, but he said the filters wouldn't actually affect TDS, just chlorine and taste... Should I be worried? Should we return the unit? I guess I would need to do chlorine testing to find out if it is doing anything.
