TDS

How high is your TDS coming from your water source? 

 

I recently moved to a new home that has well water.  My TDS is coming in at 340-350 and new DI chamber exhausted in a week.   In my old home with city water, it was at average 150, and the DI can last for a long time before changing.

 

Should I consider water softening system?

 

Thanks

My TDS is anywhere from 100-130 coming from the tap.

Inline dual TDS meter reads 2 before water passes through the DI, and 0 after the water passes the DI chamber.

100-115. I'm in Laurel MD 1.5 miles from the water filtration plant.

It can vary wildly according to the season or after big rains.

My well water tests 500+ out of tap (Independant Hill area of Manassas).  Let it aerate in a fw cichlid tank, it can rise to 700-ish. We don't drink our water, but do bathe in it.

What are the specs on your system? I have well water at 131 in and 6 out, but I'm looking for something a tad better.
