Ordered a TDS meter and checked my well water at 64ppm rain water in my bucket was at 4ppm and my AC condensate was at 25ppm. Best case I plan to use the rain water and condensate but if I had to would the well water harm my CP?

The well water wouldn't be an immediate problem and with regular flushing likely would be okay but below 50 is better. If you tray water with 64 ppm the TDS would be too high pretty quickly in the tray.
