Calgary north tds
 

Just tested my tap water because it smells earthy which is totally understandable due to the flood situation. Normally it ranges around 35 to 75 ppm. Tonight's reading is 177.

You know all those posts where I say sure, the tap water is fine today, but one day it might not be and you might want an RO unit? Today is one of those days :)

Calgary readings for tds has always been 150 + don't panic

your TDS meter is way off if you've tested lower than 100 ppm on Calgary water raw sample

Very true. My rodi is still zero at the end but I always like to know how bad it is going into the unit. Might as well order new filters and a membrane now.

You are wasting your money! any generic type RO can handle this spike in crappy (high Aluminum) water.

In no way am I panicked or concerned. Just made an observation that the tds has jumped significantly. My water change water measures way higher which is also expected. I will look into calibrating my tds meter for better accuracy.

i'll give you an accurate reading for free.just bring me a sample in a clean water bottle.RO not DI

Thanks that's very kind. PM me the details please.

and by the way If any RO is giving a zero rating out of a membrane in calgary it's bullsheet.
