WHAT KIND/MAKE OF WATER SOFTENER DO YOU USE? I TESTED A CUSTOMERS ONCE AND IT WAS REGISTERING OVER 300PPM FROM HIS HOUSEHOLD SET-UP.

I have a vessal (same as di) but has softening resin not di resin, I recharge with salt daily as it is a small one compared to the amount of water needed. I have now a 5ft vessal to be set up but thats for when I move or in the summer which ever is sooner saving me time per day. testing out of this vessal reads way above normal, but it does the job.

tds after water softener is sky high like tds meter will not read x10, out of r/o is down to 9. making 2.5L every 34 secs, waste 2.5L every 46 secs
about 260+L an hour cant be bad.
