4ppm?!?! You could prob just fill your tank direct from the tap without even having to go through any filtration with that TDS and get away with it ? Joking obviously but you'll not be using much resin with that! Lucky bugger!

I read the original post as it was 34 after r/o and now its 4ppm. I would still put that 4ppm through a di vessel. If his water was 34 from the tap originally he wouldn't have needed to spend the money on a water softener.

It will make life a little easier for the membrane/s so they should last longer. They are just having to remove sodium ions. The water softener removes magnesium and calcium ions from the water and replaces those ions with sodium ions.
