Ya I don't think the tap water in Calgary is all that bad. I believe we just removed flouride from the water so that should help. I was thinking of buying a TDS meter to see what I might be able to get away with as far as an RO system goes. The problem is the readings could be quite different depending on the time of season. For example in the spring when the runoff is high there might be more contaminents in the water than in the fall.

Very true, im sure the age of the neighborhood would come into play as well due to piping used and condition its in. Im sure you could find readings online, just a quick google led me to this page,
