CuttleFishandCoral Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Just giving everyone a heads up that portland tds are around 50 right now. Up from 10-12. Check ur ro/di water. Its pretty normal this time of the year when they switch from bull run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxmonkeyboy Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 In Portland TDS does not mean total dissolved solids.. It means Turd Distribution System. So yeah, triple the turds right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hear people from the east coast talk about TDS on the forums, they are in the hundreds every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMeyer Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Its crazy how variable it can be. My well: ~50 My neighbors well (~1/4 mile away): >350 Junction City municipal (also a well-fed system - 15 miles in the opposite direction): ~300 Meanwhile Corvallis people tell me they have something closer to 5, right? (Then again, they have to put up with Corvallis, so maybe its a wash) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Thanks for the heads up. My normal winter time TDS is low/mid single digits. It's 46 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
