Depending on where you live, you will find different TDS levels in the tap water. Here in upstate south carolina, our water is about 25-30 TDS out of the tap. With your high TDS readins, you will likely have a shorter lifespan for your membrane. A flush system might be a good idea to help extend the life of your membrane.

Show off!
Mine is in the 250's going in and normally <5 coming out. My RO membrane is near 4 years old, so I'm alright with that.

Not that either way is right or wrong, but I've been using a brute for years and I don't have a powerhead or anything circulating my top off water. I just keep the lid on it tight and a bulkhead supplies the auto top off. Now in the SW mixing container, I do use a powerhead, or did... I've got a few surprises on the current build
