Can someone do a TDS test on Calgary Tap water?
 
My Milwaukee TDS meter is showing me 001 on my RO/DI, but I tested tap water and it is showing 014? This just seems REALLY low and is causing me to wonder if something is up with my meter?

Thank you very much! That's what I figured. I'm only a few steps away from you in DouglasGlen so my tap should be similar.

I might have to take a trip up to WalMart to pick up one of those TDS meters that everyone is talking about as I think mine is defunct.

Maybe you're just wishing too hard that you lived on the Island?? :) Although 14 is a bit high for Victoria

Island dreaming indeed! :)


I picked up a new TDS meter.. one of the units from walmart that everyone was talking about. This morning I tested 247 tap and 0 on my rodi :)
