I recently purchased a TDS meter and came to find out my tap water is around 30 TDS! I was curious what some of yalls tap water might be around? Most videos I've seen around the country have a TDS of around 200-300. We have some decent tap water here around north Georgia it seems.

- Thread starter terrapin2
- Start date
45-60 in Gwinnett where I live
30-45 in Lawrenceville
about the same... between 30-60 tds.
This is why I don’t use an RO membrane.
Just a filter bank, including 2 DI cartridges in series.
As they are used, I take out the first cartridge. Move the 2nd into the 1st position. Then replace the 2nd with a new one.
Using refillable cartridges with bulk DI resin saves money, by DIY.

I've been giving this some consideration for a while now. After filling my storage tanks up a couple times in the last week I may be at the tipping point.
I believe I've made about 2000ish gallons in the since I've started and according to the meter 5100 have gone through the RODI system. So I'm at the point that I need to change out the carbon blocks but the DI cartridges look good still.
