I have not bought an RO/DI machine yet so last weekend I bought 10 gallons of fresh water and it tested at 34 TDS. Everyone was very friendly and this weekend is customer appreciation day but I would grab my water elsewhere.
Heads up about buying water from The Aquarium

hyposalinity is often used in large commercial systems as a ich/disease preventative measure. its not uncommon. its one of the reasons that we should always acclimate our fish/corals.

This was water purchased as saltwater to use in a reef. They do run their fish systems lower than typical norm for that effect but it is far from being considered hypo by any means.

Agreed that the 1.18 that I was referring to is not a hypo treatment level.. but the lower salinity levels are very common when purchasing premixed water from large commercial operations.. When I purchased premixed water years ago I always had some salt mix on hand to get levels to where I wanted them.
as far as extremely low one store that I used had two containers of premixed water one for customers and one for the display tanks/quarantine. occasionally someone, usually new, would get the water out of the wrong holding tank and I would get a bad batch..
that being said I went to mixing my own very quickly to avoid that particular issue.
