Hello all,

I am on a well for my house and am going to have the water tested to see what kind of RO/DI I might need.

What substances should I have my water tested for?

Thanks
Steve

Just get a TDS meter to test the Total Dissolved Solids. You'll want the highest rejection rate for your RO/DI unit that you can find.

What do you mean by what kind?, most do exactly the same thing.

How many stages.

Or am I looking at this the wrong way?

Your bigger question is how many gallons per day you want to be able to produce.

I'd get a good RO-DI unit. Well water is always going to be a risk.

My well water had 47ppm TDS, not great. Bought a RO/DI from purelyh20 and now its zero
