Default RO unit from culligan?

I just had a Ro unit installed by culligan for drinking water. I was wondering about everyones thoughts if this would be good water for my tank?

Check what the TDS of the water is coming out of the filter. If it's 0 it should be ok. Do you have a DI unit on it as well?

Defiently test the TDS as glampka suggested...

5ppm and lower should be OK for just the RO...

You should have a DI unit to polish the rest of the TDS off...

The Filter Guys can help you out if you choose to add a DI to your exsisting sytem

With a hand-held TDS meter or a inline dual TDS meter for the ro unit

Both can be found on ebay and arent to bad in price.
