Depending where you are in WV, not so great. How far west are you?

i would go ro/di
its going to cost you more in problems and chemicals if you dont.

i live in north vancouver at the bottom of the dam, my TDS measures 8 out of the tap and I still use RO/DI.

We can get as low as 9 TDS in Surrey but I still use RO/DI.

The further you're over past the Cap river the worse it gets. If you're out as far as Caulfield then you're on a completely different water supply that is really hard (High TDS). I'd recommend RO/DI. Even if the water wasn't bad I'd still recommend it
