    RO/DI Filter

    This is just a curiousity question for those out there with a RO/DI with a TDS meter. I was wondering just how bad my tap water is here. I just looked and I have a reading of 154 ppm on my intake. What have other people generally have. Just curious.

    154 Tds

    I'd say 154 PPM TDS is within the "normal" range, and its toward the better end of the spectrum.

    Mine's about 250.

    I don't even want to guess what ours is, but after it's ran through our unit we get 0-5ppm.
