I have a 1000 litre tank Dave, so this is an estimate but I would say 2hours 20 something like that for 400 litres. But I fit my supply hose directly to the top filter, saves loads of time instead of going through the meter etc.

TDS v low here too Dave usually mid 40's. I have cut down on the frequency that I run the salt wash through after Ionic told me it was ok to do so {due to the softness of my water}. Any queries re the system Ionic are usually really good at answering on the phone. Just give them a buzz {I bought my system second/third hand but they have always been great re support for me}.

Hi Dave.

if your tap water is only 20-25 then you really don't need an RO as your resin will do just fine.


20-25   what I would give for that tds from the tap

With tds so low in all likelihood you probably don't need a water softener at all as the water is most likely already soft, in fact with tds of 25 most would only use resin.In fact some years ago I remember tucker pole saying you can clean with tds of 20.

Unless its appx. 3k or cheaper then very possibly you are about to waste money unnecessarily.

Actually ,almost certainly nothing,i probably should not have posted. I just have a different perspective being at the lower end of turnover for a window cleaner. Good luck with whichever you choose, after care would be the main area to have piece of mind in i reckon.
