Last week I moved out of my house which was in a very soft water area (well below 100ppm) and have moved into a holiday let. There's an outside tap here that I can use to fill my tank. I knew the water was going to have a high TDS so I bought 6 bags of resin to see me through until I get an RO sorted in my new house (which I can't move into until late August). I checked the TDS as I was filling up tonight and it was coming through at 003ppm after around 350 litres after previously coming through at 000ppm. I did a reading on the tap water, almost freekin 600ppm. It's killing my resin . I phoned the lady that's bought my house and have offered to pay her water bill for 6 months if I can fill up there every night plus a free window clean now and then. Thank f0ok she has agreed to it or I'd be back on the ladders come Wednesday

Sounds like good drinking water, put hair on your eyes. Thats not good news about ppm, but you have a short term solution thankfully.

Not an ideal situation by any means. I've wasted £50 worth of resin tonight. I run twin DI and one went up to around 050ppm with new resin in it after tonight's fill

I'm living in a holiday let for the next 8 weeks at least . No provision to set an RO up here. Going back to my old house to fill up is my only option unfortunately /emoticons/sad.png. I'm going to get one of those all singing all dancing RO set ups from Purefreedom when I move.

Blimey!

Mines at around 480 and I thought that was high!

I have a fairly cheapo RO unit (was £150 I think?) with a 9litre resin vessel after it, been running that for at least 18 months and been a solid 000 the whole time.
