Arbys in Kent closed down XD Made me sad when I went by and saw it all closed up.
Anyways, I was reading about that on other forums, and a lot of people have said they've found more TDS in the dispensers than from their tap

Do you have a TDS meter? Your not too far from OBD or Barrier for that matter. You can get water from both of them, I'm sure.

Ya I am thinking I will just hit up OBD cause they are so close to my work.
and being that i am going to be borrowing 5 5 gallon jugs from work it all works out well..lol
it will just take a few days of dropping them off and getting them filled.
and no tds meter yet..

I used the water (Briefly) from the outside store locations, but found one day when the TDS was very high (machines needed maintenance) and could find another machine as good as that one was. I did the cost for a 5 stage RO/DI, replacement filters, Gas, and found that purchasing one (in the long run) was the better investment. IMHO

I actually work on some of the ones in local Market Places. It honestly depends on whether the RO membrane in the machine and all of the other filters and parts are maintained and up to date. Some of the ones I have seen and tested I would not use on my tank personally. The RO membranes in the machines can cost up to $400 to replace and so I know companies don’t switch them out as often as they should because of the cost.
