Coral Springs, FL 33071.....out of the tap TDS is 74. However, water has Chloramine at 2.57ppm, according to my water report of Dec 2016.
 
Well... it took me a long time to get to where I'm at with my water system, but something like $5k later it works great. There is a huge sediment filter first - then a whole house carbon filter - then water softener - then all you listed going into a spectra pure RO with booster pump and a 3 stage DI - then a 45 lb (yes pounds) DI as a final backup system. I'm traveling this week but maybe I'll take a picture and post it if you're interested in the craziness.

Before anyone blasts me for the stupidity of this setup - please take into account two things:
1 - I have over 500g of reef tanks to take care of. (350 display, 450 total, and another 60 gallon) which is like 20-30 gallons of evap per week alone + water changes.
2 - I get the added benefit of filtering the whole house (TDS that high is hell on house and fixtures)

As I write this I realize I must be addicted to go this far to be reefing!
 
In Phoenix 535 tap, 8 or 9 after RO and 0 after DI.
I have 400 ish tds and after Ro 32 tds what equipment are you running I've tried everything I can think of to get my below 10 with no luck it's killing me in Di resin.
 
Checked the well water today and got 40-50tds, which is less than tap.
