Just got a new RO/DI unit to replace the existing. Ordered the TDS meter with it and I'm getting 83 at the tap. I'm in Renton Wa.
 
Our club recently ran a test of people's waters. We're in central California, and had ranges from 80-350 for the most part, with one farming community having a couple members with over 600!
 
17 -- 36 out the tap - can't believe Seattle/Everett/Mill Creek has such clean water. I truly had no idea, but I ain't complaining either. :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Thanks Curtswearing, haven't updated my profile yet to include all the pictures and personal info as of yet, but working on it.

I finished my migration from 50 gal to 150 gal move this summer, and I now have animals finally! Woo-Hoo!

I've updated my bio, but not sure if it's coming through yet on my replies.
 
Welcome to Reef Frontiers AZDesertRat! Wow, your TDS is up there!
 
Phoenix and the surrounding cities have very hard water and high TDS due to the sources, the Colorado River(which is 200 miles away and delivered by an open canal which causes massive evaporation and concentration of solids) and the Salt River ( three guess as to how it got its name and the first two don't count!). Treatment plants do not treat for TDS and hardness as it is considered astetics since it is not detrimental to human health.
