Tap water quality?

[NickNH]

Well, I do not believe they can detect 0.001 ppb nickel with the methods a water company would use.

Nickel was to 8ppb for the detection threshold, but I think I will just get a filtration system anyway just incase the results were bad.

What is the TDS? I'm betting not zero....

It isn’t zero, but knowing what is there is more useful than knowing a blanket value such as tds which includes all ions.

I wouldn't use well water unless it was 0-5 ppm TDS and I ICP-ed it. Even then, I'd rather just use 0 TDS RODI ‍
