Why is my tap water so low in ppm? This is a brand new pen so I know it’s not the pen and I have cleaned it and calibrated it?

No filtration just right out the tap. Also I’m deff gunna use ec just couldn’t get a reading on 500 ppm or ec. Now if I warm my tap water a bit to about 90 it reads at .1 ec

man, I could only wish. My well water is over 700ppm. Filling 5 gal buckets with RO water every day is a major pain in the ass.
