i feel for you mate.....have you had a letter off the water company saying your water would be getting even harder?

[P @ F]

With figures like that I would seriously consider using that Spotless Water mob !
What does your Ro take it down to out of interest ?

[p1w1]

R/O still gets it down to around 14 before resin and its 2 years old, so not bad really (tds is normally around 480-520). Funnily enough a spotless water fill up point has just opened last week near me and they've given me  550lt free to try. Was going to try a tank as their water is ppb  so was going to if there is a difference.

Quite a few water companies are now getting water from boreholes when previously they got it from reservoirs.

Mines gone from 070 to ~400 ish but at least they warned me beforehand so I could get a RO set up. Done me a favour long term as I知 saving ｣80 a month on resin now.

Not really. You had to pay for the RO. If you got the RO before the rise in TDS, it wouldn't have cost you ｣80 a month on resin.
My resin lasts about 3 month. Used to last 6. TDS was about 50/60. Near 80/90 now.
Consider a 40/40 if it costs any more

Long term I知 saving money even after the initial outlay and maintenance  costs for the RO/prefilters.
