Have you measured your output? More than likely your gonna have to add extra cartridges but won’t know for sure unless you have a number

What do you mean? Also, are you talking about after the RODI? After mixing with salt?

Yes after the rodi will post the numbers when get home

I would not bother measuring hardness of RO/DI effluent. 0-1 ppm TDS water is fine no matter what a hardness test reads, and in reality it is very low.
