I'm getting >200 out of the tap at the moment, although mine comes out of Glenmore and if you're in the north yours is coming out of Bearspaw, and I believe I've heard that Glenmore is usually quite a bit harder.

236 tap, 9 after DI.

keep in mind its PPM, so an error of 100/1,000,000 is still really accurate... a 50 dollar instrument. very neat indeed!

Also, keep in mind temperature adjustments.

Interesting because I should get the same water as the OP, and mine was 147ppm tap, 2ppm from my RO/DI, and just for fun 4ppm bottled from the grocery store
