tap water in surrey Question ?
 

Hi all i was wondering who else is using tap water in their reef tank ?
anybody can give me 70G RO/DI water filtered in surrey central thanks ? :)

Tap water
 

In the summer my tap water tests 3-10ppm, yesterday probably because of all the rain it's testing 100ppm

Been using Burnaby tapwater for years. The water quality around here is excellent, especially after the upgrades for the 2010 Olympics. I also like to do mine before (not after) a major rainfall if possible.

I use tap water for water changes and brita water for top ups

I am in surrey mine tap water is always between 10-12 ppm never seen higher then twelve 100 ppm even if there has been a storm seems high. I had readings like that when I moved into the house I am in it turned out the main water supply coming from road was corroded we had it replaced with a poly line from the road now I never get higher then 12.

By the way I use ro water I always had issues with algae using tap water

Tbh I never test my water .
I'm setting up a new RSM250 so should I be using RO water or just tap water ?

Ro
 

Tap water works for lots of people, for myself I used it once and I didn't know that they were fixing the piping around my house the day before and it crashed my tank. Ro unit is enough, I haven't had a single problem using it.

Tap water
 

I used tap water with Brita filter when I first moved to whistler. Figured clean glacier water must b incredible. In reality probably full of minerals, etc. Had algae issues and coral was never happy. Recently bought an RO/DI unit and man have things turned around!

Tap water caused me nothing but problems in the beginning. I use ro now and will never use tap water again. Iv seen abbotsford water test anywhere from 3 ppm all the way up to 225. Ro is always 0. Enough said
