my question is what should i expect from store bought RO? I have been using a store locally that sells it at .25 a gallon and i could have sworn when i sampled it, the meter he had read 3 ppm(i know it might have been calibrated wrong to seem 'cleaner')
That same source water i have tested myself and reads ~40ppm
I read some reviews online about walmart RO water (they have a machine by culligan) and people saying it tests very close to 0 ppm.
Just bought a bunch and got home only to find it is reading ~120 ppm.
My local tap water is ~150ppm so other than the chemicals it 'might' have removed, im not sure this is much better than tap water.
My question is, #1 are these ppm #'s good or even normal? I feel kind of ripped off.
BTW the walmart machine had a maintenance tab saying it was inspected on the 6th, which is almost 3 weeks ago.
