homerlex,

What is the hardness (in grains per gallon) of your UNTREATED (before
the softener) water?
Any iron in the water?

The hardness strips show the water is now in the "soft range".

I'm still concerned about the TDS being so high (900s every morning).
The water is 550 pre-softened and I understand that the softner can
cause TDS to go up some but doesn't this sound excessive?

Thanks.
