What is your TDS at home?

Yep, I've seen my TDS get as low as around 10 ppm here in East Van. Your RO/DI membranes/filters/resins will last a lot longer because there's simply not very much stuff to remove.

The GVRD water is 10 ppm TDS White Rock water is 100ppm TDS. We test with a Myron meter which is calibrated regularly.

Ouch!

So then 14 isn't out of line down here? I guess I shouldn't get too worried when my kids drink out of the tap.

Yup...so low here in Coquitlam that I stopped bothering to measure it. I too thought that my TDS meter wasn't working correctly when I first got it.

The tds here in Richmond is very low, which is why I only use a DI filter. The "tap water purifier" DI filter lasts a very long time before it needs to be replaced due to our low tds.
