Spelter March 20, 2013 March 20, 2013 I usually start making water for my water change on Wednesday evening, but we just has a major (54") water main break that services my area. Will the repair work affect water quality, service was never interrupted. I have a TDS meter and RO/DI water at 1 currently.
smallreef March 20, 2013 March 20, 2013 I would wait if you can.. But if your tads out is only 1 you should be good...what is your TDS in?
Spelter March 20, 2013 Author March 20, 2013 Its 184 after the 3 stage before the RO membrane. Its usually in the mid 80s.
smallreef March 20, 2013 March 20, 2013 Wow....that's crazy...like I said if you can wait I would...it's also going to really kill your output....
jaddc March 20, 2013 March 20, 2013 My guess is that the water would sap your first sedimentation filter. I'd wait or be prepared to change out the filters a bit earlier this time around. J
Dan March 20, 2013 March 20, 2013 also watch our for additional chlorine. usually with a large break, they will disinfect the pipes as they are installed by swabbing with chlorine. the treatment plant might also increase dosing of chlorine as well to make sure everything is safe to drink.
treesprite March 21, 2013 March 21, 2013 Montgomery County and PG County both have a water use restriction order in place.
Spelter March 24, 2013 Author March 24, 2013 WSSC has ended the water usage restrictions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
