    Just curious what everyone has for tapwater.

    I always knew Thompson had good water. We're a mining town and the mine owns the treatment plant. They need pure water because of their instruments, and it wasn't cost effective to build a second plant so we get the same water as them in our homes.

    I think I wasted money on my RO unit a few months ago. Hopefully its pulling out stuff that isn't measured by a TDS meter.

    Mine is .001 going into the unit and .000 coming out of the unit.

    I suppose at least I won't be buying filters all that often lol.

    Oh I also have the Bulk Reef Supply 5 Stage Plus system.

    Around 650.... Im on well water that is very high in iron levels. I also have issues with co2 in my tap water... Im trying to sort this issue out right now. Along with this my water pressure is very low. Horrible for aquariums. lol

    Holy Geeze ... thats craziness. No wonder everyone preaches RO. I always thought it was strange but this is the only tap water I've really known. I never thought it was that bad growing up lol
