Something I learned from the last time around. R/O water really makes a huge difference. Along with my unit I have a TDS meter (Total Dissolved Solids) to ensure it is running correctly. The EPA has a max contaminant for tap water set at 500 ppm. Tap water in South Bend comes in at 438 ppm (avg US Tap 200:400), after running through the R/O unit 0 ppm. For those of you with a Brita filter the range is 50:100 ppm. Or if you are like me and do not change the filter often enough 300:400, or basically worthless!Thursday, June 25, 2009
