![]() Wow are you sure you are not coming in to my house and taking water from me , 980 was the highest record and that was 2 weeks ago . the city told me that was fine TDS has nothing to do with it.
I asked him really and he said ya its 315 when its leaves oout plant. I told him so why are you worrying about it leaving your plant at 315. Canada code stated all drinking water will be under 500 when it enters your home.. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Im still fighting this... how in the heck will this get better what about a COLD sterile.....

![]() So the TDS coming out of your tap must also depend on where its going between the plant and your faucet. How old and type of pipes your using must have a lot to do with it as well because the readings from house to house in the same areas are all a bit different.
I still have yet to ever test over 11 in my new condo but in my last place (only about 10 blocks away) the numbers were significantly higher (more in the 20's). |

![]() Here in Kamloops I get consistent 3 to 7 ppm, but the city water supply IS ro water. Most of that ppm is from the resiudual stuff in the city pipes as they are still flushing the main lines for sediment. The water quality has been slowing getting better over the past 2 years, and I hope it will improve more still.
We used to get water that would make your toilet water go brown during spring run-off. The toliet tank would get about 1" of sediment in it over a year or so. Hence, the city built a RO plant. This also allowed them to reduce the amount of chlorine that gets added to the water ![]() So, I don't run any ro/di. |
