175 ppm tds reading

[whirley]

Hello.
I just moved into a new area, tested the water and found it to be 175 ppm. Just curious, what everyones tds readings are before the RO/RODI unit.

175 ppm.....that drinkable? Wondering if I should ad another filter to the water supply to reduce the ppm.

Mine is around 60 out of the tap. I don't think 175 is out of the ordinary.

I'm around 270 usually, but there are people that report up to 800 I think :eek2:

I believe the average home is about 250 on a TDS meter. Mine reaches ~660 :eek1:
