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

Anyone know how Chestermere's water is? We just moved out here and setup the tank using tap water (r/o soon) and I thought Calgary water was bad. I'm sure this is worse it's undrinkable.

I get around 140-180ppm, however I find that it varies within a day depending on when your testing, lower numbers at night for me.
