Water fed pole system with TDS readings

Smithshomeandgarden · Aug 6, 2019

Hi

im new to the whole WFP System, and trying to get my head around RO and DI, I bought a handheld TDS meter and tried it on my water at home and comes back as 44ppm would that be correct from a household tap I was told it could be 150ppm, I’m not sure.

thanks

If the reading is correct then you only need to go the DI route. R/O will only be beneficial when you get to the stage of 1000's of litres a week, and even then will be marginal.

Scotland is a soft water area, but I am surprised it's that low, it might get a bit higher but not much I don't think, @Chris33 might know as he isn't to far away from you in the Fife area

Ok thanks Tango and Chris, it says it’s calibrated and ready to use by al call the shop and double check.

Aye I am 55 in fife so that sounds realistic reading wise

You could also consider buying a cheap small RO and skip the DI completely, making 0ppm straight from the RO. Works for me at slightly higher ppm.
