First RO/DI experience

Well after years of not using ro/di water, I finally stepped up and bought a system from Buck Eye Field Supply. Set it up and now have water with a TDS of ZERO!!! I proceeded to check my tap water to see what it was.

Take a wild guess.......................22

I see why I have gotten by all these years

Well it's nice to know my tap water is pretty darn good and my filtered water is great!

Using a hand held TDS meter

From 22 to 0.

Without using RO, just using the DI.
