Look up in Google about RO/DI systems. It is used for fresh water and takes all sorts of bad chemicals and particles from the water. Keep it. If you don't want it you could ship it to me...; )

Even if the water comes out of the tap just right ?

Have you tested your tap with a TDS meter? If so, what is the reading? That unit with good filters will produce a tds of 0.

Im not even sure what tds is.

That's pretty much the standard most of us use to determine water quality. It stands for Total Disolved Solids. Basically it's the amount of garbage in your water.

Well water can be especially high in metals. I wouldn't assume because it tastes good that it's fine for your tank.

My city water is only about 45 tds but I heard many reports of water getting into the 400's & beyond.
