Edmonton - Water "off"

[Jordon]

Ya nothing new. I thought it was a bit early for that though. But i guess weather is starting to improve, so have to take the good with the bad!

Wow 4000! This makes me 100% Happy with my RO/DI purchase

It still leaves the plant at a very low TDS.
Water comes in almost a slurry......

Not early. If you go to Drayton Valley there's no snow. Better go buy new filters

[Jordon]

Ya, the only crappy thing is the filter resins will exhaust more quickly than usual. But our water here is overall very good. My source TDS was testing in the 130-160 range (taken readings last month), but i'm sure the added Chlorine/Chloramines will up that a bit.

Luckily it's a new unit that only made about 30 gallons total so far, so there's a lot of life left in these guys

Good advice though.

I don't think chlorine or chloramine is an issue. Anyone using a good declorinator, as tap water users should be, should be dealing with it as part of tank life.

Out of curiosity I tested the water for ammonia, and on my API test kit it came back as between 0.25 and 0.50 ppm

With that being said, I bought some more bottles water to drink.

Is the city digging up water lines near by?

[Jordon]

Not in my area, but who knows. They are saying it's runoff season, but I have lived here all my life, and to be honest the water smells very bad. I don't even want to wash my hands in it
