RODI question, before or after a softener?

[Gary616]

Im getting ready to instal an RODI system. I live on a well and have a decent amount of iron and run a water softener. I have an Ro system for my drinking water and it is plumbed after the water goes through the softener. I'm looking at a BRS system. Should I install it before the softener or is the water that is treated from the softener going to be ok.

Water softeners work by exchanging sodium ions for Ca and Mg in the water. I would think it would be fine/preferable to have a RODI system after the water softener, but I have no personal experience here.

The stuff that water softeners removes are more likely to scale a membrane so after the softener
