I remeasured the PH and TDS levels of my incoming tap water and again after 
being filtered.

Before filtering After Charcoal and RO Filtering

TDS: 515 PPM 31 PPM
PH: 7.7 7.1


It looks like 7 stage RO filtering made the water move towards PH neutral 
from being on the basic side. A reading of 7 would be considered perfect 
neutral so I am happy with a PH reading of 7.1. I would rather have it lean 
towards basic than acidic which is the case here. On the other hand, the TDS 
level of the incoming tap water exceeds EPA standards! I wouldn't dare drink 
the tap water here. Might end up with a case of kidney stones!

I don't think meteorites would be happy with the tap water here. I will do 
chemical testing in a few weeks. I hope there is no chloramine in our system 
as is the case in California.

Kind Regards,

Adam
