Again distilled is 0 and works beautifully but buying and lugging 32 gallons of water a month gets old. If the filtered water is near zero that would be great as my water lugging days would be over.
If I missed that in here...apologies.

Mine is reading an 8 TDS count, but that's after using it ~7 times (car washes). Unfiltered water is reading about 11 TDS. I was actually a little surprised to see that the delta wasn't bigger, because it does make a difference with my car with regards to eliminating water spots. It would be interesting to see the kinds of TDS readings when filtering higher TDS count water.
Why don't you give it a try...it costs less than $35 dollars to install.
