I was just going to ask where you are.
If your Severn Trent water it is soft out of the tap 60 to 90 ppm and the ro should bring that figure down by 90%
If your south staffs, its hard and between 300 and 390 so your figure of 39 is about right, ish!
Do your own windows to see how they dry, I would not use it on a custards house myself

you could probably get away with 17 , you will need to try it and see , i dont change resin till ours gets to 10 and no probs at that level

DO NOT get a merlin unless your tap pressure is really good,.. the output TDS is rubbish with pressures below 60psi.

The reason i want a merlin is because i have no way of storing water so i need to produce it a fast as i can.
i dont know what my tap pressure is but it seems very powerful.

4040 is faster than a merlin and wastes less water  ;)
if you do get a merlin get a booster pump to produce quicker

You will have no problems at 17ppm & will be ok to use 37ppm for a one off.

I've cleaned a full week with 40-odd ppm with zero issues before! :-\

It's just fact my friend.

Find me anyone in the world who can, with their naked eye, see any residue from any one of the 17 parts per million of desolved solids! ;)

I would do without hesitation. I run twin DI's so it doesn't really matter if I change at 001 or 010 etc as far as economy goes.

Now dont go embarrassing yourself by telling me the water doesn't "cut" the same at 17ppm!! rolley eyes   ;D

I will regularly run my system using 15ppm.
On regular cleans it has never been a problem,on first cleans at that sort of ppm i will have to spend longer rinsing.
I used to be a stickler for changing the resin as soon as it hit 001ppm.....this is totally unnecessary imo...i have never had a customer complaint due to spotting. :)
