TDS Change

Maybe a stupid question, will the TDS of your water increase over time?

 

I have a 5g tank and make 8g of RO/DI water at a time and store it in sealed buckets. As i only do water changes once a week (2g), one batch of RO/DI water lasts me a month.

 

My last batch showed a TDS of 0, but when I measured it a few weeks later as I was using the last of it, it showed 3.

Are the buckets HDPE, how do you get water out of the bucket of RODI? Pouring out or dipping a bucket in or using a tool of sorts? Have you ever used the buckets to mix in themselves or put waste water in? Also sharing pipettes between full saltwater and RODI when testing, I do that all the time.  I make water and mix same day so am never storing RODI longer than my ATO uses it so I have limited experience in why that would happen but those are some things to check maybe someone who operates similar to you will respond with a better answer haha
