I used ATI ICP for the first time and the results came back with recommendations on what to do to get things into spec and also telling me that my di resin will need changed very shortly and when I looked at the resin it had just about all changed colour so it was correct in that aspect. To me if the basic water is right going into the tank how can you expect to get good results from your tank. The ATI ICP is cheaper that Tritons and checks more things than Triton does. I was always a fan of Triton but following a reply from ATI which they said after every 5 water tests (I'm sure that was the number he said) they test a known std test to ensure the ICP gauge is reading correctly and again I'm sure it was each day the gauge is calibrated. I have asked Triton how check there gauge and they would not even reply. That was when I went ATI. I have followed there recommendations and will be sending of my next ICP water sample soon and will let you know my views etc.I certainly understand the idea that a free test is better than nothing. The issue is, IMO, people will find things testing ro/di and possibly over react, replacing resins, adding additional resins, etc., when in reality, any real problem likely resides elsewhere than 0 ppm tds water.
