Thanks again everyone!! You guys are awesome!! |
I use tap water and grocery RO as I am waiting for my RO unit to come in still.. dang americans
I havent had any problems from the water, just problems from carbon dosing with bad carbon. Ro is Ro, if the tds is good I say your ok, you can get a TDS meter from walmart for about $10 so it might be a good investment, if you go that route for the time being. There are lots of people who do this, and use tap water as well with no real issues, but RO/ ro/di is always a good choice if possible.
