I haven't tested it my self but I was talking to a guy who bought water from the supermarket and he tested it and it to had high ammonia levels. He was telling me that after that he tested it all the time and it was not as pure as they say it was. sometimes it to had high chlorine and ammonia, I guess you never know how often the change the filters on those machine either.

Rusty.

Actually after I tested my tap water I thought why not test the water in my water cooler and see if its the same and if I'm just wasting my money. Anyway I tested it and it read 0 ammonia. (ozonated water from shoppers drug mart in the 5 gal bottles)

you want pure water? invest in a RO unit. cost you $100 and you have never spent better money. tastes great...everything else is pershaps needless security....but still so good. you spend almost as much on a single coral...you may as well have pure water!!! that's the most important part!!! :P
