Wondered who's got the hardest water (water not the other thing)
At 480ppm I think I've got it very bad here in Essex!
You?

What RO are you using? We use a 4040, I think a 100 inch RO is needed!Mine gets to that but averages around 450/460.
I love Wales, spent weeks/months cruising about on the motorbike, love Tintern awesome vineyard there does the most amazing mead (or did, dunno now?)081 here in sunny (or not) Wales
Get a water softener mate, it'll help for sureFunny enough I checked the water before it went into the di vessel only yesterday and it was 067 when I got the 40/40 ro a year ago it it 025.I need to change the ro soon or Ill have to change the resin every other week.
The softener won't bring down tds, but it will exchange calcium etc into salt which the RO is way better at stripping the water of,How much of a difference would a water softener make? Would it help bring down the TDS to prolong the life of the RO and resin.Been looking into it but not sure of results, do you use a softener yourself?
Cheers
Ok I see what you mean, I will check a few sites for water softeners. My end product TDS after filter & membrane is approx 026 where as with my old 300gpd RO it was 013 but I can produce pure water 5x faster now with the HF5 but I'd like to bring it down as low as possible as at 026 will go through my resin twice as fast.I am low pressure but will be getting a pressure gauge sent out today so I can see exactly what psi I'm at and then I can play about with things a bit like, softener etc
