Tap Water or NOT
Something I've never pondered much, BUT
it's time for me to purchase some more RO/DI filters and media. Well just for kicks I tested the tap water (public water) 0 Phosphates 0 Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 KH 6.2 pH 0 GH Very Soft It's pretty good water. OK except for that Chlorine stuff. What else should I be concerned about with tap water that RO/DI removes ? Silica, Iron etc ??? I would be nice if I didn't have to spend anymore cash on filters... Thanks, Chris |

I think for 20-$40 you can pick up a TDS (Total Disolved Solids)
monitor. This will tell you exacly how well your RO/DI filter is working. When the readings start going up... time to replace the media... As long as you replace the other 3 cartriges (which are cheap. all 3 for like $20) you shouldn't have to replace expensive one very often....

Perhaps fluoride. He should be concerned about removing Fluoride?? Fluoride in NSW is roughly 1 ppm Fluoride in tap water is roughly 1 ppm http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/gen.../fluoride.html George Patterson Forgive your enemies.

Consider that even if the water is fine right now, you
won't be warned by the city if they decide to dump extra stuff in the water.

Welcome back, out on Vacation ?
Well I just tested my Tap water today and surprise...loaded with phosphate. Guess I better replace those filters ! I didn't notice a problem with Phosphate until the resin in my DI chamber looked like mud....oops ! "Wayne Sallee" wrote in message ink.net...
