What is your TDS?

Mine, in Terre Haute city water was a whopping 348parts. OMG. Hubby isn't laughing anymore when I say that I don't drink it and my fish don't swim in it!

I live in Indy and use Indianapolis city water. The TDS is usually around 450, but I have seen it as high as 600. It's amazing that my small RO/DI has an output of 0 TDS...

Indy water has an enormous amount of chloramine in it, so if you are using a standard "DI" filter this will be spent very fast. I highly recommend running an ammonia removal cartridge to compensate for this right after the membrane, and then into your regular DI.

Hmmm....how would I (OK, so Coop) do such a thing? Sounds like a good suggestion, and I'm all about making these $50 refills last as long as they can....


With my new airwaterice.com Typhoon (orig) I'm now running 0TDS. Whoo-hoo! For $150 I got a system that filled a 5 gallon bucket while we went to walmart down in south TH.

I work for a Industrial water treatment company and I have a lot of customers in Terre Haute. And I must say that Terre Haute has the worst water in Indiana, By FAR. The well's in Terre Haute are 750+ TDS. So, the city takes there water from the wells along with return treated water. Very high in Calcium and Alkalinity.

Mine is 370 in Lafayette....My ARS RO unit knocks it down to 0

Wow, I'll have to check mine again. I am on the NW side of indy (Eagle Creek Aquifer?) and mine tested at 320 last winter.

[ejsimcox]

OK, 306 PPM on NW side of Indy right now.

I have never had a reading of 0 with my spectra pure RO 3 stage before. Hmmm.

I have a 3 stage RO 2 Stage DI unit from ARS and the 2nd stage of the DI mops up for the 1st...
