198? I'm jealous. 700? Holy cow? How deep is that well?

City water here and it ranges from 128-205 depending on the day of the week.

About 175-225 in League City.


My old place in Milpitas, CA was 25-50. I miss that clean water.

My parents up in Montgomery have terrible water. It's like you actively watch the sediment filter turn brown when their unit is on.

The city water in magnolia isn't too bad but there are some days it smells like a swimming pool when you turn on the faucet. I go through more carbon then anything

28 tds. I live next to the Water treatment plant.

So this thread got me checking my RODI TDS and it had creeped up to 80. Makes sense since I've been fighting a algae problem but I figured it was related to over feeding, but the past few weeks I wasn't making any progress.

So today I drained the water supply and replaced all the filters and the DI. Back down to 0.

How do you check your RODI water? I highly recommend an inline one placed after the DI. If I had to pull out a meter every time I checked, I'd be less likely to do it. With a mounted inline, I just push a button. Super simple.

Yeah I have an inline one with in and out readings. I just don't bother often.

I have a handheld TDS meter that runs ~$15. My TDS is typically ~200 ppm. I use that as a diagnostic when checking my input streams e.g. tap water, post carbon, post membrane. I just measured my input water is 223 ppm. Currently, my post DI is running between 0-2 ppm which works fine for my reef.

I put a label on my filter canisters with the date of their last replacement. I change my sediment every ~3 months and my carbon every ~6 months. Changing out my DI, every 18-24 months. I estimate I use usually 200-300 a month, maybe 3,000 gallons a year.


100% on having a built in TDS gauge on your output water. I'd never check it otherwise. I've seen these inline ones start at ~$30.

Not sure if I'm allow to post non-supporting vendors site but Premium Aquatics have them on sale at the moment. Single in line digital TDS for $24.11 and the triple in line for $32.79.

I hope I'm not breaking any MARSH rules and apologize in advance if I did.

Haha I was about to point that out.
