You likely have high Co2 levels in your well water which is very common. Best is to setup a cistern and degas the water in there and then use a pump such as the booster pump to feed the RODI. Make sure to feed air and circulate the cistern or what ever you are going to degas in before pumping the water into the RODI and the longer you degas for the better as you want to remove as much Co2 as possible.

No, either way will work.
This was just a better solution for me.
