For my reef, RO/DI is a must now. If I couldn't use RO/DI I seriously would just quit the hobby. There's no way I would ever rely on our city water year round and I won't use it for anything anymore. 286 TDS and I don't know what it all is. That is after a Britta filter which is supposed to remove all chlorine and lead. My reef gets 0 TDS water only for everything.
Dechlorinators will throw off an iodine test kit also. |
