TDS of walmart dispenser water

[dp28688]

Got a tds meter with my gift so tested the RO water i get from Plymouth walmart dispenser, which is a Caligan <-- or something close spelled, that does ro and uv filtration. To my suprise the tds was 2ppm and that was after sitting in my container for week and possible contamination from syphon hose. So my conclusion is that its good water for 37 cent a gallon and fills up 5g container in about 2-3 mins maybe is good if you have no ro/di or need fast water.

Thats not bad at all.I checked one of those machines at hanaford a few yrs back and was stunned at how high tds was.

I had to work in one of those once, and it just an RODI system, with a storage tank.

I used to get water from the wall mart in Raynham and it was always 2 TDS. Great water. I tested one of those fill your own spring water for 25 cents machines and it was in the 500's I couldn't believe it. The Culligan is a big ro di unit with uv light, its the best you can get as far as the fill it yourself water units go.
