Thanks. I will get a digital TDS in about two days.... As I said I am using 1/2 britta pitcher water ( pre carbon prefiltered/ refrigerator) and 1/2 distilled water. I hope that I can go 40% Britta and 60% distilled. I am also using the inline tank softener that came with the machine. Do you use yours? Well, in case you have one with a vibe pump/ I wonder if the inline filer makes the pump work harder.....
What is the more appropiate hardness to pospone a descalling service?
