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

Ouch!

So then 14 isn't out of line down here? I guess I shouldn't get too worried when my kids drink out of the tap.

Man some high readings I think ours is is around 400 i thinki n Brandon. Not sure going t ocheck thou hear i thought that well water and Mountain water was the best in B.C it can get up there...... So soft water is the best i take it right.

I thought about getting a water softner for my house will that do anything to the water. and then If I run it thru the RO machine..

400+ out of the tap (town treated water, out of the Whitemud River)
3-5 after RO/DI

TDS goes through the roof during spring break up though - can't see the bottom of the bathtub for a few weeks
