Water quality and RO/DI system for Davie County?

blackstallion · May 18, 2020

I'll be setting up a 220 gallon reef tank in Advance, Davie County, NC. I'm on city water. Anyone have advice as to what level of water filtration I'll need out here? I'm seeing 4, 5 & 7 stage systems.

I have a 6 stage system to make sure I get the best water possible for my tank. I once asked a worker for the water report and she wasn't able to provide me with one, nor tell me hardness of the water....

Here is a link to my water quality report. Any insite into my specific water quality and whether a 4 stage system would be sufficient for 0 TDS water or should go with 5 or higher (depending on brand and system) would be a good bet.

Went with the SpectraPure MaxCap 5 stage.

Water here seems to be pretty soft (between 0-50ppm) so I was able to configure it to 2:1 waste water.

Incoming TDS between 60-80 depending on the day.

Output a nice 0!
