Wow are you sure you are not coming in to my house and taking water from me , 980 was the highest record and that was 2 weeks ago . the city told me that was fine TDS has nothing to do with it.

I asked him really and he said ya its 315 when its leaves oout plant. I told him so why are you worrying about it leaving your plant at 315. Canada code stated all drinking water will be under 500 when it enters your home..

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Im still fighting this... how in the heck will this get better what about a COLD sterile.....

Yeah, it's pretty bad hay, Rosetowns water smells worse that pool water. It frequently tests over 1000 here.... not normal i think....

I used to have family in Duck Lake and spent some time there. I couldn't believe how bad the water was.

So the TDS coming out of your tap must also depend on where its going between the plant and your faucet. How old and type of pipes your using must have a lot to do with it as well because the readings from house to house in the same areas are all a bit different.

I still have yet to ever test over 11 in my new condo but in my last place (only about 10 blocks away) the numbers were significantly higher (more in the 20's).
