Someone, I think it was nyfireman, was recently selling the $3000 model on our forum for $2000

dan,

i will spent some time to read your suggestion solution in a bit...
for now, before i forgot, i need to post this link...

here is a link that some one have an educational guess - that using the cati-ani unit either before or after, would have about the same amount of water usage http://forum.petstore.com/Topic70811-14-6.aspx#bm74821 seems true for my case.

thx

i finally have a chance to call my water company, and the Water Quality Report information is not helping...

they said, this is just a range of the reading... and each town/zone could be difference! i guess i need to send out my water to a water test lab...

any suggestion where/which?
thx

If he has such hard water then why filter it only to add back calcium & magnesium? TDS means Total Disolved Solids not just nitrates, phosphates etc...If his GH is 32 I would suspect he has high concentrations of calcium & pssibly magnesium in his water. Thus contributing to his high TDS readings.

If I were Malulu I would first look at my latest water bill and see who the provider is. Then I would call them and ask for their latest "Water Quality Report". This report will tell you what's in the water and at what levels for your general area. Then I would send a water sample to a lab and have it tested for Nitrate, Phosphate, silicate, calcium and magnesium. Based on the results from the lab I would then look at my alternatives to purify my water (if needed). Kold Sterile makes resin impregnated filter pads that target specific ions and there is also no waste water. The down side is they not make a pad to filter what you need.

How much does it actually cost to get your water tested by any various facility like those in the link?
