I will change mine as soon as I notice it had moved off 000, no point dragging the dregs out of it IMO

I have set a limit of 15 before changing resin.

Currently RO water is 008 so don't use resin.

In low bright sunlight or very hot days you are more likely to see/ get spotting.

After some trials I found spotting started to appear at around 28 ppm, but I would say the higher the number you have the narrower the margin of error ( more chance of getting a bad finish )

Our water ranges from around the 300 mark upto 380  :(

Regular prefilter changes have helped the membrane no end in maintaining a low ppm number
