My God, that is unreal!

Is this a wind up?

Did they know you were taking pics?

I find that amazing.  If true, it really shows how ignorant they are.

ignorant to what exactly  ???

Are you saying they should have downed tools and come inside due to the shame of a pro at work?

Or are you being ironic?

If he has a filter on the incoming water like I used to on my old house he would get his tds down to around 6. That would not show many spots at all.
