Just why would tap water be saline? It's 'fresh' water.

LOL - I've been dying to ask that question every since I saw the
question of salinity raised in this thread......and BTW I do have a
hydrometer and have checked the tap water (zero of course) but only out
of idle curiousity after checking my marine tanks....

Some fresh water is fresher than others. Anyone who's lived on a well -
especially in arid country - understands the concept of salinity in "fresh"
water.
