wyzazz Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yes, it is safe. I use a softener before my RO water (around 500TDS) and get it down to 10 or so TDS after my RO Membrane, I can get it to 0 after DI. I feel your pain my friend, my water is liquid rock!!! nicpapa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyzazz Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 My water softener isn't a little filter cartridge, it's an actual ion exchange unit. It exchanges the hard water ions for salt, and recharges itself every X gallons. This is the unit I have. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Whirlpool-33-000-Grain-Water-Softener/3824563 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
