It IS like drinking bleach, especially in the spring.

I imagine it's the Bow, we have a couple different reservoirs where they do their best to clean it up I guess. Seems the water fairs differently out of each.

Hey Brad, nice numbers. Do you RO/DI your water? if so, how much mileage do you get out of your cartridges? I would suspect a fair bit.

I do use RO/DI. 18 months into my unit, and still get ) on the output. We do have a lot of algae here though, so th e1st prefilter gets clogged quickly.

I had 8 yesterday, but normaly I am around 14.. mind you we have had a lot of rain now so our resavoir is full and we probably are getting better water with the expansion.

Up in Whistler where we simply lick the glaciers to satisfy our thirst we average around 30 on the TDS, but like everywhere else it depends on how much rain we've received!
