Forgot to say but of course I do dechlorinate also.Hello all, I know this is a lot to read, but I hope you can help. At the moment, I do not use RODI water. I obtained my local water files, and am wondering if they are good enough I don’t need RODI. I am attaching the picture here of the file. Thanks.
The provide a turbidity measurement (water clarity) and amounts of certain dissolved solids. I would assume that total TDS is simply not provided.
Sorry I know what TDS represents. I bought a no waste RO system by watts and added a DI filter. Would not use anything else even though about $ 600 total. One less thing to question yourself about later
I assumed you did, but were asking why it was not on the report. I simply think they provided turbidity and the dissolved solids that they felt were important. I have not looked at our report to see if TDS is provided or not.
Looks like your corals should glow more than normal.Hello all, I know this is a lot to read, but I hope you can help. At the moment, I do not use RODI water.

You saying the water is not good?
What do you think about using this water though
Even de-chlorinated, I wouldn't use it; there's still too much unknown about your water to make a fair assessment. By using a RODI system, you ensure that you're starting from a place with 0 contaminants and then mixing in the minerals and other necessary things in the right proportions to sustain sea life via your salt mix.
Without actually testing what comes out of your tap, I would not use it. The water report is an annual report from the source. You have pipes, water towers and seasonal differences that can drastically change what comes out of your tap.
