I have this water ready and with a heater since two days ago and has turned yellow. Last week in the other wch same happened. Should I be worried. I have lots some acros recently. Could this also be part of it?
It’s very clear before adding the heater

My first thought was maybe iron in your water- but wouldn't the RODI filter that out? Check TDS- maybe it's the heater you got from me lol

I thought that and got a new one from Petco.
Looks really clear when I bring up after the heater takes this little yellowesh color. It’s weird that should not happens

Did you run the new Rodi unit for a while- I think I read that you should do it to clear it out- have you checked for TDS?

One thing you could try is to buy a few gallons of water from a LFS and see if the same thing happens-
