I bought some bottles from a shop. Now, the water shows 360 ppm. In the past showed 2 ppm, now the bottles wich were without any label, among those with labels, where bad, even with the cap on from the factory. Always check the water !

Back, a long time ago lol, when I was in high school, I used to work for Coors beer. I was in the back of a major grocery store one day. They were filling gallon jugs of "RO" water from a tap. It wasn't an RO tap either. I have always been skeptical ever since.
