Default tds readings

No DI yet. I'm looking into building one. PVC pipe is cheap )

Anyway, 40 ppm TDS may still be high but if I'm getting a 90 to 95 %
reduction in TDS after the RO should I be expecting better of a CTA
membrane?

"That would be 850 uS and 80 uS respectively."

And roughly divide by 2 for TDS

850 = 425 TDS

80 = 40 TDS

You have some hard water but I have seen higher. EPA drinking std are not

to exceed 500
TDS (IIRC)


Thank Boomer.

Erik,
Ahh... that more about right. But as for the product from RO should not be
that high with 100GPD. IIRC from previous post, you have DI unit too. From
that DI output should be close to non-detectable. From your RO output, that
seem to be still high. 40TDS is similar to SF water without using any RO
unit.

You might want to check what the PSI before going into the unit. Do your RO
have a PSI meter? If so, what it indicating?
