Very low in Gloversville in 49-57 have been my reedings. I thought my tds meter was broke when I first tested it, till I talked to Dave C. When I live in Scotia it was 350 +.
Filter direct 6100, 0 out |

Filter Direct 6100 also. ~180ppm in and 0 out.
Be sure to let the RO/DI unit drain for 30 seconds before collecting the water. Sometimes you will get higher than 0ppm initially, but it will drop back down after the 30 seconds. Do a search for TDS creep if you're interested in knowing why. |

Being that my TDS is low to start off is probably why I havent had any problems to date using the tap water... I'm glad I have ro/di now though, I'm sure everything in the tank will be much more happy in another month or two...
Ken, I let it run like you said, the tds meter usually says 15ppm out for a few seconds then zero's out, thanks for the heads up !
