There's some variation in the city's water to keep in mind also...

Much of the north end of calgary is fed by the Bearspaw resevoir, much of the south is fed from the glenmore. These are two very different resevoirs, with independant qualities / contaminants...

I think most of us on the bearspaw feed have few problems with tap water, more often the southern tap water users have greater problems...

Personally I don't have much problem with tap water, though during the spring thaws and during/after chinooks I'll avoid doing water changes at all costs.

Calgary's WTP's are the same as Red Deer's and Edmontons....they are all modern and all pretty much equal using the latest technology from the treatment process to the latest instrumentation. So not sure what you mean by modern?

a secondary benefit to RO/DI (but a VERY good one) is that prime and other water conditioners can make your skimmer go NUTS. My euroreef went absolutely crazy!
