i may get slated but i would say anything from 10 under would be fine to work with day in day out i Have personaly used water at around 25 and had no problems (not recommended tho) but generally i have it 4 or below. it's not so much the tds but more of what type of desolved solids that remain in the water.

keep it 000,  if there is spotting or any other problems you can count out the tds,

I even collected a bucket of rain water once and tried it out on my own house and it didn't leave any spots, rain water was measuring around 22 ppm.

How clean was the bucket the water was collected in?  I've been told rainwater is around 3-5ppm. :)
