New DI water question.

I just added a DI to my RO and ran a little test water into my mixing tank and the initial result was a small amount that was off color, presumably from the resin. I should have run it into another container first. Would it still be possible to use the water in the mixing tank? There is about 35 gallons of water that will be used in my 175.

Let me answer your question with two questions: Would you drink the off-colored water? If not, do you really want to put it in your tank?
