Tim, I mix straight tap water back to my R/O (sounds silly, doesn't it?) to about 86ppm of TDS. Here in Milwaukee, on a good water day, that's about a 50/50 ratio. THEN I'll de-chlorinate if I'm going to use it right away. In more extreme cases (some West Africans) I've mixed to 40ppm which is about a 3 to 1 ratio of R/O to tap. I've never known if this was a scientifically solid plan, but I'm pleased with the results.
