I wonder if I have the worst water in the world?

I knew it tasted horrible and chlorine smelling, but checked the TDS tonight...

299 intially, but ran it again just now and got 268.

How crap is that?

Yeah but I bet where you live it's all fields for 100 miles and it's collected by the local waterboard from a mountain spring.

Does this mean my filters won't last 5 minutes?

[darren clarke]

280 TDS from mine,it scales the kettle up something chronic. I filter the water before drinking it.  
Some areas in the country are worse ive heard

Yeah I thought it was a wind-up.

read this link it recommends changing ro membranes every 2/3 years and pre filters every three months

depending on the di vessel size will determine how often that needs refilled

mine is 196

filters been in 2 years and only changed the resin once (11 ltr)

[richard jagger]

Mine is 310 and it tastes quite good,doea mess up a kettle though. Just remember the higher TDS the beter it cleans when its 000 as it will try to return to what it was at 310.

Change your prefilters every 3 months. They are cheap for a set. These protect the memranes. Flush the membrane/s regularly, at least once a week and you wil get a good life  out of them.
