Update
I ordered a home water testing kit that tests for 20 different things. Today I ran it on the output of my 6 stage RO/DI. There were 4 things that did not come back with a zero or negative reading: sulfate at 500 ppm, TDS at 500 ppm, chloride at 50 ppm and phosphate at 0.2 ppm. Only the first 2 are abnormally excessive and my guess is that the TDS is primarily a reflection of the sulfate. If the tests are accurate, they exceed EPA standards for drinking water. And that?s AFTER it?s been through a 6 stage RO/DI. I?ve also sent a sample of the water to TRITON Labs for professional testing and see if they confirm the home test kit findings.
Anyway, will excess sulfate (note: it?s not the same as hydrogen sulfide) kill corals and fish?
