Fish RO water quality?

I bought RO water for my discus aquarium from a vending machine called glacier water. Here is their website http://www.glacierwater.com/glacier_quality.html. I got a TDS reading of 9 ppm. Is the water safe if it is 9 ppm or should I go with distilled water that has a reading of 0 ppm. The company claims it is 97% pure and it is filtered with 5 different type of filter. It went through actviated carbon, micron filter, RO, post carbon filter, and UV.

Thank You

Why my Watts RO-Pure water filter stopped working?

Water isn’t flowing from the system at all. I bought it 2 years ago. Since then I was regularly changing 3 of 4 filters: sediment filter, pre-carbon filter and post-carbon filter, these 3 were last replaced in April 09.

The fourth filter, TFC RO Membrane, is said to work for 2-5 years. I don’t believe it should be clogged by now.

System is only used a little bit, for the family of 2 people.

Why did it stop working? How can I troubleshoot? Their troubleshooting guide doesn’t help.

I have read somewhere that RO doesn’t filter out chlorine that well. Is that true? Does a carbon filter cleans out chlorine well?
