Ro/di

[reefman]

any1 know if 0 ppm on TDS mean 0 ppm?
i tested some water after a TWP(tap water purifier) with a calibrated tds meter n reads 0 ppm. does this mean is really 0ppm n safe to use?

Depends if it has a DI filter as well.Phosphates are plenty in drinking water.

the TWP is di, no ro.
i guess i'm wondering is water from twp with 0ppm same as water from ro 0ppm

it's the same thing in regards that there are no ions in the water, since thats what a TDS meter really detects. However, there are things the RO can remove that the DI part can't, and won't be detected by a TDS meter. But in anycase, there are plently of people using DI water, so i'll say its safe to use.

yes it is safe to use.
