    Looked outside today and watched the snow fall for a bit when I came up with this.  Anyone care to guess what the TDS of melted snow is?  Well the fresh powder I tested was 4 TDS, which I thought was pretty darn cool.  Now if there was only a way to collect it and melt into some sort of large reservoir. 
    Just think you could save yourself a couple bucks on your water bill every winter!  /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/tongue.gif
    I'm kind of curious to know if the TDS of the snow fluctuates very much according to air pollution levels and other environmental factors.

    Yeah you don't have a 60lb. dog. Too risky, beware the yellow snow. How did you get ammonia in your tank?

    Ahahaha, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't do this but in theory, it would be better than tap water.

    You know that is a really good thought, same with rain water.

    The bad thing is didnt waterloo have an air quality alert last week.

    Makes you wonder what that 4 ppm is.
