TDS on tap?

[azfishgal]

I'm curious, what is your TDS on your tap water (before going into your RO unit)?
Mine is 530.

Am I the only one with crappy water?

63 tds-I am in North Alabama. I can get 0 tds with the ro part of my unit, but I still get my tank water out of the di part. Before I got my ro/di unit I was getting water from a Culligan machine that had the same tds reading as my tap water.

I get 23 ppm give or take a couple from the tap.

I get about 75 TDS.
530 is unreal!

Unreal is right. I've been having some issue with my RO/DI unit, so I'm now talking with some people on -- that live here in AZ to see what they are doing. I have some trouble shooting to do, but I'm hoping I can figure it out soon.

Yes, I have a Typhoon III RODI. My nitrates out of the tap are 160 using the API testing kit.
