Is a drop from 80 TDS to 10 TDS significant?

[DesignerofBeauty]

Hello Folks,

I have invested in a R/O system that hooks up to the outdoor hose faucet. I live in Rhode Island, and it is starting to get cold. It's becoming pretty cumbersome transferring my water into gallon jugs into the house. I am currently saving up for a system that sits underneath the kitchen sink (and is tankless). However, it runs at $300. I might not be able to purchase it for a bit (damn mortgage).

Anyhow, my tap water TDS is at 80. My R/O water runs at around 10 TDS. Is this difference significant enough to warrant the nuisance of running the system outdoors?

I do have several micro and minis in terrariums. I also have mounted orchids that sit under artificial lighting. In addition, I have several "regular" sized potted orchids. To save myself time going outside in the cold, do you think that I can get by with the 80 TDS tap water for my larger potted plants? I'll continue to use my R/O water for mounted (and thus sensitive) plants. Once I'm able to afford the nice R/O system, this won't be an issue.

While I'm here, does anyone have a waterdrop R/O system?

Thank you for the input,
Rachel
