The rain barrel had a nice green tinge to it, so I’m a little surprised it had almost no EC, but I also didn’t know what to expect either.

Was the tap water sample measured right after pulling it? Conductivity is usually related to TDS but can be effected by suspended particles in the sample. If the bucket of rain water was sitting and the tap water was flushed, it may affect the reading.
That being said, I’d expect tap water to have a higher TDS because of treatment.
Drew the tap water and measured it, then went and pulled a bucket from the barrel and did the same. I think the results are good.
It’s a mix of treatment, and ground collection, it’s mainly mountain fed glaciers feeding the rivers.

Also isn’t tds related to EC? TDS can have different results from the calculation from an EC reading I thought since there is a couple different calculations and ratings?
