We just installed a water softener last weekend and today was the first day that I have run the RODI. The TDS of our tap water before we softened the water was 350. Now it is 450. Is it normal for the TDS to increase because of the way water softeners work? I'm going to try bypassing the softener and making sure our house water didn't just increase over the past week instead. We use potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride, in case that is relevant.
Also, it does seem to be rejecting more based just on percentages (28 TDS from 450 vs 28 TDS from 350) and I know that the softened water is better for the RODI as a whole. So, that's a good thing.
Thanks for any advice!
