I just received the EC/TDS meter that I bought from my local Grainger supply.
Here is the link. HI98311 Hanna Instruments with automatic temperature compensation. Grainger.com
I tested my tap water from my faucet, which has a 5 micron carbon filter on it.
Test results were 145 PPM at 80 deg F
I then tested my 30 gallon bucket of RO/DI water.
Test Results were 4 PPM at 77 deg F

These look like good numbers to me. But since this is the first time I have tested my water ( I know Duh

) I wanted to know what the experts thought...
Thanks for any replies.

Jim
