I notice that the RO/DI water I make feels a little slimey to the touch. I
can see the slime also when I eyedropper feed the tank. Also seems like
little floating slime at the tank surface? Is this normal?

try a TDS meter for readings and then I'd change the elements for my
readings are 210ppm before and 7 or 8ppm after and it looks and feels
perfect.

No, it's not. How old are your cartriges? RO\DI water should be
clear, colorless, odorless, and nearly tasteless compared to tap
water.

How long has your system been running?
Are you on municipal or well water?
