Jersey City Tap Water

[GQ22]

I got one the TDS meters from the frag swap group buy (great buy, thanks Brett) and it has the ability to measure the in and out of the water going into your RO.

The difference between the unfiltered and end product was 172 tds versus 004. That is incredible. You can actually taste the nastiness when you leave new york and drink jersey tap water.

Its that bad huh??

Almost all of New jersey Public water is unsuitable to drink. It was that bad, that you still had 004 after filtration. WOW.

172 is actually pretty good for tap water. Tap water in other parts can get into the 300-400 range and still be well within regulations.

and I believe Jersey City Water comes from the same place NYC water comes from.

Wes I agree - I remember once reading when i first started reefing someone in Arizona had over 400

My water in Ossining at the old house was 210
