Hi Mike, the water values at a collection location of the Rio Guarrojo are listed by Linke and Staeck as
Clear, brownish water with a PH of 5.3, total and carbonate hardness below 1DH, the conductivity level was taken at 1-3us at 30c. If you can get things as close as possible to that you cant go far wrong.

O

If I remember correctly, the 1-3us equals .5-1.5ppm. Isn't that just distilled water that someone breathed into <G>? My TTS meter does read to that level, but my machine needs an overhall as it is only getting tap water at 200ppm to about 70ppm. I'm working on getting new membranes now.

Thanks,

Mike
