Calgary Water
 
Anyone do a tds reading lately on Calgary tap water.... I just tested mine and my ro/di unit... My tap water was reading only 12 and my ro/di unit was reading 2. I did not think our tap water was that good.... Maybe its time to buy a better tds meter... Cheapy walmart one:mrgreen:...

0 out of the ro/di

I'm getting >200 out of the tap at the moment, although mine comes out of Glenmore and if you're in the north yours is coming out of Bearspaw, and I believe I've heard that Glenmore is usually quite a bit harder.

Mine is usually about 120ppm going into the ro/di.

walmart has TDS meters?

Yup 15 bucks hiding in the automotive section.

236 tap, 9 after DI.

keep in mind its PPM, so an error of 100/1,000,000 is still really accurate... a 50 dollar instrument. very neat indeed!

Also, keep in mind temperature adjustments.

Interesting because I should get the same water as the OP, and mine was 147ppm tap, 2ppm from my RO/DI, and just for fun 4ppm bottled from the grocery store
