Cleaning tank is not possible because of some dispute or nobody wanting to shell out money to clean it? If its the latter, bite the bullet and pay the full amount to clean it. No one will oppose this proposal. Don't ruin your health because of indifferent morons.

TDS is not the measure of hardness of water.

Hardness is caused by either magnesium and calcium carbonates or their sulfates and chlorides and cannot be measured by a TDS meter. TDS and hardness have different units. 

A high TDS water can be soft.

People think TDS=hard water. That's what these type of companies cash on. There is not a single word in the product description that says magnesium or calcium.

But this particular company might be doing something smart. Who knows? Best is to purchase and try. Its not so expensive anyways.

I was browsing for something in Jiomart and coincidently found this product. This might be useful. The product description clearly mentions calcium and magnesium.

Change your tap to suit the filter.

There will be instructions how to use and how much to use on the bottle. Normally you would pour some amount of it in a bucket of water, let it mix well and wait for some time and then use that water for washing by hand or machine.
