What is your TDS at home?

The GVRD has awesome water. I'm in Vancouver, and from the tap, my water is around 012.

The good thing about this is that you wont have to change the RO/DI filters as often.

So it just blows me away when I see posts in the States saying their tap water is reading a few HUNDRED. :S

Yep, I've seen my TDS get as low as around 10 ppm here in East Van. Your RO/DI membranes/filters/resins will last a lot longer because there's simply not very much stuff to remove.

The GVRD water is 10 ppm TDS White Rock water is 100ppm TDS. We test with a Myron meter which is calibrated regularly.

Yup...so low here in Coquitlam that I stopped bothering to measure it. I too thought that my TDS meter wasn't working correctly when I first got it.

The tds here in Richmond is very low, which is why I only use a DI filter. The "tap water purifier" DI filter lasts a very long time before it needs to be replaced due to our low tds.

Yeah, my TDS measured about 5 and I also thought my meter was faulty.
