I would be interested in hearing results from all over the world, as I know we are a diverse bunch here. ;) Also if you can't get the output of your RODI down to 0 for some reason, mention that as well.

Me: Monroe, (North) Louisiana, USA
Tap: 86
RODI output: 0

I live out in the country in western Washington state and I get 56 TDS from well water. We have great water here and I don't have to deal with chlorine or chloromines.

1200 from well in Jasper Michigan. Ground water is so bad that they pulled the oil wells because the high salt content made it not worth it to keep them going. I get around 30 after ro. Don't even attempt di, only get 100-150 gallons per cartridge due to gas.

Conway, Arkansas municipal water.

TDS out of the tap 34-36. I'm still on my original membrane (27 months) and DI resin looks like it's going to last a long time!

so if our water is at 0 tds after di is it good with no worries?
Jeff

0 is the best you can hope for when it comes to output TDS. :cool:

The difference is the higher the TDS (tap water) going in, the faster it will exhaust your filters, the more frequently you will have to change them. :(
