you havent  tested your water for weeks and weeks?...

it may come back to haunt you at .... 10 ... or it may not....

but it is high, and not really pure is it?

dont think i would dare take that risk.  ;)

You bought the wrong calibration fluid, the one you need is 342 ppm NaCl solution

Its higher up the scale of you meter, lower down and you may end up calibrating it falsely and its what the manufacturers recomend.

I didn’t have any problems when my water was 10ppm i even cleaned windows when it was at 15ppm without any problems they all come up great with no spots but it did start to spot on some glass that didn’t sheet but then it was only the odd window with 1 or 2 spots.
If my RO could get my ppm down to less than 10 then i would not use resin but thats my choice.
