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.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

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?

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
