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.

no what i'm trying to say is NOW my RO water is 1.023, not before i put salt, come o even i'm not that bad! i know you have to put salt in RO for it to be salt water lol, i added a bunch of salt pre-mixed it in a 2L bottle and then put it in my 5-gallon w/c container

Well, that's what I've been saying!!!! You keep saying RO, but it's not RO after you put salt in. I think we're good now. Everyone go to bed, it's a school night.
