Tap water

just closed on my house. Bought as is no inspection hence no water test. I’m in the process of getting a water test. And also in the process of setting up my first reef tank. I Flushed my New rodi filters. And that lead me to check the TDS out of the tap I have a reading of 30. No house filter or anything else it’s a private well as well. Not sure if I should question. I guess that means my di resin will last me that much longer. What’s your experience with low tds tap water.

It depends which exact solids are in there... I would run your RODI, and see what happens. More than likely, you'll get more life out of everything; the cleaner the source water is, the better.
