I was recently gifted a RO/DI water filter. I have a couple of questions about it:
1. I've heard that it's better to bypass the DI section. Is that true?
2. My current water in Vancouver BC is already pretty good:
Calcium = 2.4ppm
Magnesium = 0.3ppm
Sodium = 0.9ppm
Sulfate = 0.8ppm
Chloride = 0.6ppm
Bicarbonate = 7.9ppm
TDS on the above water reads 10ppm
There is Chloramine in the water, so I still need to use the RO filter of course. Since my tap water is already so low in minerals, am I safe to assume that running it through the RO filter will essentially give me "zeroed out" water? A TDS reading on the RO water reads 0ppm.
