I use distilled water for my CPs and some orchids, but after reading many threads on here (and elsewhere) about the possibility of using low TDS tap water for Nepenthes, I was curious to find out how my own measured up. I went ahead about bought an inexpensive TDS meter and tested the tap water. It read 55 ppm. I've tested a few different times and it reads 55-56 every time.
Does anyone own this meter? Is it trustworthy? Perhaps I'm not giving my city/state enough credit, but I'm having a hard time believing that the water here is that pure...
If anyone from the New Haven, CT area wants to weigh in, please do!
