I'm from calgary, and when I mix batches of water from RO/DI and tapwater, the SG's exactly the same, but the alkalinity's/pH is different. I have a calibrated refractometer, too (RO/DI calibration).

do you mean alkalinity?

I always calibrate my using distilled water which it should read 1.000. Well I am from Edmonton, and I think the tap water in the city is around 1.002 or something like that. Checked few times about a year ago.
