The tech came out on Monday and looks like he cranked some of the
settings. They told me to force a regeneration each night for the
next couple of nights and then they will test the water again.

I can tell it used more potassium that it has been using prior to the
changes. TDS levels are showing in the 900s This doesn't seem right
to me - if there is an exchange going on shouldn't the TDS level be
closer to the TDS level before the water hits the softener?

I've also ordered some test strips to test the hardness on my own.
