You guys set me straight with regard to TDS being useless in checking water softener output (since the TDS reading of the softened water might even exceed that of the incoming hard water)...many thanks for that little piece of enlightenment (I got the great Hach 5 kit for that test, as you suggested, and really love it!).
However, my research seems to be suggesting that, for all practical purposes, the TDS in source water can be used to calculate a softener's salt dosage requirement. How does that approach sit with you guys? And, if that isn't practical, what's the best approach to determining refill time on my Culligan Soft-Minder Twin Model 9100?
