Lot's of people use tap water with a higher TDS then 40 and the water you were hauling from your work, was that run through a ro/di?

1. Water run through distillation units sometimes have very low oxygen levels
2. TDS is corrected by two stage filters that polish the water and a DI unit to finish...Carbon eliminates colour and odour
3. Correct me if I am wrong Carbon filter, Coarse filter, fine filter, Distiller, DI filter in this order
