At the moment its coming out at ph6.8 and too low a ppm to register on my "truncheon".

When my water supplier switches resevoirs (as they seem to do every now n then when the main res must be low - i dunno) it will come out at ph7.2 and 210ppm.

I got about 85 ppm and ph around 7.3 - 6.5. I'm happy with that, I haven't checked its messurements after letting it sit out for a bit.

100 ppm on the Hanna scale, .2 EC and equally as important, the alkalinity is 70 ppm. It's wonderful for growing; so easy to work with.

At my old place my water was .2/100ppm and about 6.8

Just moved out of town and my water is .8 - 7.5ph. Terrible. Been filling up 5 gal jugs of RO water. Thankfully just up street there is a 24h place to fill up RO $3/5 gal.

Looks like I'll be in the market for an RO machine soon!
