Do not buy a low cost RO off of AmXXX. I can recommend many companies that sell good quality RO systems, most of the online resellers are simply trying to out cheap each other.
Is the salty taste occurring only after regeneration occurs? What is the hardness amount in the raw water?
The Brine Draw/Slow Rinse stage of the regeneration cycle is usually programmed for 60 minutes duration. Brine should all be drawn out from the brine tank within approx the first 15 minutes of the 60 minutes, leaving 45 minutes to push the brine through the resin and to rinse salt residue to drain. If brine draw is taking more than 15 minutes to empty the brine tank, the Brine Draw setting may need to be extended to eliminate the salty taste following regeneration.

Minimizing waste could cause less selectivity. Do get a permeate pump. That helps too.Thank you!
I was checking yesterday all RO companies and the Waste output .. OMG that is insane.. some of them has 1:3 output/waste ration. Is there anything out there that does not waste so much water? Or this is standard?
I think you are saying there is a saltish taste in the water that has passed through the softener. A TDS (total dissolved solids) meter is useful for identifying the level just after the regen vs a day later. The TDS meters are cheap, but usually not absolutely accurate. Still, they are useful in identifying changes in salt level.I think i should post a new topic for this. There's a salt-ish taste in water softener
This is awkward, but...
