Help me out here Fishboat. Is not CP water like a sponge and will absorb any chemicals present up to some limit (mole?) at a temp/pressure? We are
talking about RO here which is not CP but not too far off. I have and use TDS and PH meters that are regularly calibrated. The TDS of my RO is just a
handfull of digits. I speculated that the purer the water the more chemicals that might be absorbed. What am I missing?
Distilled water is prohibited in municipal water systems because it leaches the calcium from bones and teeth if I remember correctly.
