Cold water will shock roots. Always room temp water is best.

And i just use an extra gallon of water a cup and a turkey baster to remove the runoff.
I wonder how many plant get shocked by cold water. I'm almost thinking there are very few growers that even consider temp adjust water. Just my opinion but 65-70F I feel would be ideal.... thoughts @MIMedGrower ?

In winter my water gets down to 60 and it shocks my plants. They are used to more like 67.

Im sure if always given colder water they could adapt. But warmer water penetrates soil and is uptaken easier by the plant.

Parts per million. your tds meter measures in either PPM or EC and some do both.
