New Resin not Working

[Skxawng]

After the tap water tds has shot up and pressure has dropped I'm no longer getting 0ppm like I used to so for a short term fix I bought some resin and cleaned out my old resin chamber that hasn't been used for the past 7+ years. 

Last night I was getting 3ppm after the resin and I assumed it would settle to 0 pretty fast. (The input from RO is 14ppm)

This morning I'm still getting 3ppm!? It's ok to work with but it doesn't make sense. Shouldn't resin take it down to zero and then slowly climb after the resin starts to get used up? 

Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks

The first thing to check on your resin pod the o ring on the top and bottom are seated correctly.

Thanks, I've had a look and it seems to be ok at the top though it's hard to be sure. There isn't one on the bottom with this one.

It should have so that maybe your problem. You may have dropped it somewhere when changing resin

It never had an o ring at the bottom from new. Maybe I should replace the top o ring as it has a deep impression from being pressed into the lid. Thanks, I never thought of tap water leakage.
