I'm not new to the hobby , but part of it is chineese to me . Anything revolving around plumbing is off my scanner, now i know the price of it. I've been out of the hobby to long too and things are happening very fast now, the tanks are arriving in 3 weeks from Concept Aquariums. Thanks guys for the info i'll munch on that for a while . I thought this was going to be an easy buy it appears not, LOL food for thoughts.....their's was no answer yesterday anywhere to find out about TDS and to my other questions.
Don't sweat it, you'll get a very good system & can omit any parts not required once you get the feel for it. Generally you can't go wrong with advice provided by a local club. I checked the Ville de Gatineau site & was unable to find any water quality reports either. All I could come up with is that they subscribe to the Programme d'excellence en eau potable (program for excellence in drinking water), which surpasses the provincial standards required under the Regulation respecting the quality of drinking water. This doesn't help when you're looking for TDS numbers or what's still in it.

In Vernon, I have access to Annual Water Reports which have all the good info on TDS etc. There are also monthly reports available.
