Cheaper CP water Update.

I was looking for another supplier as the current RO water I was buying was a rip-off. So, to cut the story short I bought a Hanna TDS1 that has been factory calibrated which includes a certificate etc etc.

The expensive RO water gave a reading of 003 on the TDS meter, if this is correct then I'm guessing this is really good quality water. Now to my surprise the cheaper water gave a reading of 001 :0o:

I even dipped the tester in and out a few times but it always remained on 001. My tap water kept going up from 80 up to 109 before I stopped putting it back in the water.

Water is water. You can hit the point of diminishing returns very easily with the advanced filters.

The problem I had is getting water that I can actually trust using on my CP's. None of the supplier gave any info regarding their water and all claimed that the water was distilled or similar, and charged a crazy price for the stuff. So had to test for myself and was happily surprised with the findings.
