It will work woody, but it will use quite a bit of resin I would think.

To give you a guide- mine is=

400ltr van mount, 90 (odd) ppm tap water, twin 11ltr vessels with Tulsion resin & I use 2 bags of resin per year.

Have you got family or friends who have softer water?

It will work but it won't be cheap.

The best way to do it is rotate the bottles. The one that was the polisher becomes the RO when the tds creeps up, then you replace the resin in the one that was the RO an use it as the polisher.

I ran di only to begin with, my tds is only 50 though.

It costs me far less to run a static RO but I have no meter (yet).

Today= ZERO ;D

It depends, usually, or near enough. sometimes more, no meters in scotland & soft water. My DI's are on the van so I can fill/top up anywhere. ;)

if it does cost you a sack a month , whats that £20 a week tops . the pros no waste water ,  no r o taking up room in your flat or van , no messing about with filters . you also get pure water on demand  and can fill yuor tank or cannisters in a matter of minutes  rather than hours with an r o.  go for it its not such a big gamble :)
