RO Question
I read somewhere that using softened water to run through the RO unit was not a good idea. Should I be running water through the RO unit before it has been run through the water softener? I did notice that the conductivity of my softened water was twice that of the well water before it hits the tap. Anyways just curious if anyone has an opinion about this. Maybe I am working my RO unit harder than I need to be.

Thanks
John

WELCOME TO AA!!!

Please do not cycle your tank with live animals

I am going to move this to the general hardware/equipment section. That is a great question, and I am also awaiting a response.
