Default TDS is Higher with Water Softener - Why?

Thanks for the reply. So it sounds like the guy either did not know
what he was talking about or he was just trying to make a sale when he
pulled out the TDS meter to see how my old system was working to show
me the 600 and telling me I needed the new system :-(



Water softeners do not eliminate TDS, they just replace a calcium
compound with a sodium compound. That is good for soap but not
particularly good for you. That is why they say not to drink softened
water until you run it through the RO.- Hide quoted text -
