When using the RO filtration system it is preferable to keep water hardness below 7 GPG (Grains per Gallon). Water hardness or softness is measured using GPG. You can measure to see how hard the water is in your home and determine if you would like to have a softener system along with the RO unit.
TDS is the measurement you want to take note of when installing a water filter.
If you have a high TDS then the water filter will have to work harder to remove all the TDS and have a shorter life span.
TDS are essentially a measure of anything dissolved in water that is not an H2O molecule.
