Best water in the world? TDS readings?

[wolf_bluejay]

Here in Kamloops I get consistent 3 to 7 ppm, but the city water supply IS ro water. Most of that ppm is from the resiudual stuff in the city pipes as they are still flushing the main lines for sediment. The water quality has been slowing getting better over the past 2 years, and I hope it will improve more still.

We used to get water that would make your toilet water go brown during spring run-off. The toliet tank would get about 1" of sediment in it over a year or so. Hence, the city built a RO plant. This also allowed them to reduce the amount of chlorine that gets added to the water

So, I don't run any ro/di.

Vancouver is suppose to be getting RO water as well some day. I can't remember when but I do remember hearing on the news that we are. Of course as you said though, pipes are going to make that water a little higher in TDS again.

Mine varies throughout the year, lowest i have seen it was around 100, and highest was around 190. Come spring time it will jump up, and we will have good ol brown water again!
