Disapointed with a LFS

When we moved to TN from CA i lost my Ro/Di unit so I had bought 4 - 5g water jugs and been paying to have them filled the last month at a LFS which I will keep their name under the hat until I verify the readings.

I bought a TDS meter and keep meaning to test the water I had been getting from the LFS but keep forgetting to do so.

Well my algae problem did not go away and tonight I remembered to test the water. I bought this water 2 days ago from the LFS close to me and was very upset with the readings.

I have verified so far with the meter a few reading but I want to get a sample of pure RO/DI to really make sure but the water from the store was 191 TDS !

SO here I am thinking I am getting premium water that I am paying 0.75 cents a gallon and it turns out the water is only 20tds less than what I am getting out of my un filtered tap.


A lesson for those buying water from a Local store for their tanks , TEST IT !!!!
