Sorry about your fish. Our well water is loaded with CO2 so I’ve not used it for my Reef tanks. Just run it through the RO into a brute so it can off gas. No DI, our TDS is around 50. 1 TDS after the RO.We too have well water here in Montana. A 400 ft well at that. Our water has tons of calcium in it so I thought my corals would love it, and they did.
Lol… that thing made our water taste like plastic!! Even at 0 TDS i would not drink it and would definitely not use it for my reef.There’s literally a mass marketed product called zerowater that uses ion exchange resin to make zero tds water for you to drink. If it was unsafe the fda would have stepped in or we would be seeing millions of people with issues.
My RO system is in the garage with open ends on the out put. So any kind of contamination can get in. If the system was hooked up to the house and for drinking I would not hesitate to drink it.So can I keeping using my RODI water to make coffee in the morning or not?
Thought I read something about water that’s truly just H20 can strip out elements. Teeth especially.Zero water is different than an RO/DI.
