One of those wonderful RO/DI question

One of the freebies I got with my tank purchase was a 4 stage RO/DI system it looks brand new. The filters are white everything about looks new. It did have some water in it and I’m not sure from when could be 3-4 years old. So I have been running it for hours to get the old water out I bought a inline TDS meter for it I get 124 in and O out. Is there anything I should have to worry about or is it good to go?
Or should I just get new filters?

The 124 is concerning.

Depending on setup. The tds measures the water before membrane and after di.

Given carbon , 5 and 1 micron. You should have very low tds if those filters are working.

Obviously di and membrane should be good. Should replace the other 3 filters
 
I have the TDS meter “IN” right before it hits the unit
So from sink water to “IN” on TDS is 124
The out is 0
Does that sound right?
What do you guys get from your water IN

A lot of them are built differently. If you have it out of faucet at 124 and 0 is coming out. Unit is working. Like Anthony said.

Your good !!!!
