Ok I just got my meter and my damn tap water is 560 ppm. Yes double checked with Cal. solution meter is dead on. I keep beating my head off the wall trying to remeber but I think I read somewhere that anything over 500ppm is outside Gov. gideline. Anyone know anything about this?

Damn just did a res change two days ago and the darn thing is at 2765ppm wtf now I'm going to have to probably pump 2/3 of that out and add straight water to bring it down. Guess that will work?
