I can't remember that far back. It's late. I'm tired. Someone needs salt is all I know.

K, trust me, RO is NOT 1.023, not ever. Salt water is 1.023. RO, which is pure H2O, has a specific gravity of 1.000 always, or it just isn't pure water. I'm not making this up, it's basic chemistry. If your hydrometer says your RO (from filter/store/wherever) is 1.023, it's broken. We can't discuss this, it's just fact. Or, someone in your house spilled a lot of salt in your RO bucket.
