TDS in YVR?

[Galizio]

I'm in Surrey and got 14 of the tap, also use 6 stages filter and came out to 0... but I can tell for sure that Surrey put chlorine in the water can totally smell it.
Us with city water are very lucky.

Richmond here. I measure TDS with a handheld meter and it averages 12 TDS in (0 out of course). Some people in the US especially are flabbergasted when I tell them that.

I suspect the closer you are to the source (North Shore mountains), the lower the TDS IN is.

The other worthwhile note is there are no Metro Vancouver cities using chloramine for disinfection.

Wow is wish my TDS out of the tap would be that low.
I'm in Regina and my hand held meter reads a wopping 485 and coming out I'm at 0.03.

1-2 in New West. Yes, our tap[ water has extremely low TDS.

I'm in central burnaby south of brentwood mall. I think our water throughout most of the lower mainland is fairly equal regardless of how far we are from the watersheds.
I usually get between 5 and 10 in, and 0 out after just an RO membrane - no DI required here. Same membrane for 2 years now. I flush it well before each use until the output is 0 before filling my drum.

I'm in Cloverdale, my tap is 14, usually 0-1 after membrane but I use DI anyway. Waste water is 22 and I use it for my cichlid tank.
