I've been brewing for a while and have recently started learning about water chemistry and making adjustments. I never did before because I lived in western ny and the water was decent. Now living in Phoenix I quickly realized the water is terrible and really had no choice.
I have water softener and RO system with recently replaced filters. I also recently got TDS meter and RO water reads 25.1 tds. Tap water reads 800+ (varies) so maybe user error/meter error but if not thats pretty impressive for ro system.
So assuming the reading is accurate my question is the reading low enough to assume 100% ro water in water chemistry software? I don't have time to get a water report at the moment because I need to brew asap. If not low enough could I assume chemistry breakout of tds reading from local water report?
