will this level 6 go to 0? or is it really hard to get it to 0?

all depends on how good your RO unit is... some of them have a hard time hitting 0
mine runs 0-1... when it hits 2... i change the filters
125 outta tap isnt too bad for tap water... some people have tapwater with tds in the couple-hundreds
my tap is in the 60s... i have excellent tap... but still wont use it in my tanks.

my tds went down to 4 now so i'm assuming that it will get better as i let it run..but my freshwater i measured it for the fun of it and it was 465
is that terrible? and i only ever used distilled

once again... tds meters are only use for freshly made source water... not in a tank where elements, minerals, and compounds build up (a living tank)
