Reach, thank you for you help and your honesty! Ditto and I have been in communication and my new system has been ordered! 1.5 cu ft softener and 1.5 cu ft katalox filtration. (No chemical feed at this time)

and would a greensand filter maybe not be better for my situation since there is also some manganese in my water?

ugh, I should absolutely stick to wastewater lol. Say I go with a backwashing filter as you did. Should that be sized to match the softener? Since iron removal is required and there are potential concerns the 64k system will not backwash often enough should I go back to your original specs of...

ok, it took me a little while to get back. I have 3 baths in the house, but only 1 has a tub. The others are stall showers. The bath tub filled a 3 gallon bucket in 48 seconds. So for the sake of whole numbers, 3.5gpm. So accounting for potential flow rates as ditto stated and also using the...

based upon my iron levels, .24 mg/l I believe without looking at the report, how much of a concern will iron removal be with my new softener? I will get a representative flow number from a tub this evening and hopefully I can start to piece this system together. Like I said, I have been...

Copper throughout the house. No leaks, that I have seen. I agree, I am not sure what my level of concern should be. I think I will continue with my plan for a softener and in line filters and monitor this in a future test. Why? Because I do not know what else to do at this point lol. I...

Sorry I was not more clear. I have zero intention of buying from a big box store. I have already done enough research to know that those units are over priced and low quality. Sizing my new softener is my main concern at this time. I was thinking of a Fleck 7000sxt unit. Of course as I was...

Based upon that calculator my Ryznar number jumped to 12.68 PHS 10.19 and Langelier -2.49 Very concerned as my pH is within normal range but my corrosive numbers are high.

That was my first thought. When I first paged through the report yesterday, I thought I was in good shape, mildly hard water,and some odors. Add a softener and some in line filters for light odors and I'd be good to go. Last night I took a closer look and found that number.

pH is 7.7 Hardness 80.6 mg/l - 4.7gpg Calcium 29.3 mg/l Magnesium 1.8 mg/l Manganese .099 mg/l Conductivity 190 micromhos/cm I will do a search as you suggested to see what I come up with. Thank You

I am not sure if this falls under the softening category of not so I didn't want to lump it in my previous post. My recent lab results have this listed as 8.3 S.U. I am having a hard time finding info on dealing with corrosive conditions. Any advice would be great!!

I need help folks. I am pulling what little hair I have out of my head trying to figure out what sized softener to pickup. I have read a ton and either, I am not "getting it" or there is conflicting info. So I have moderately hard water. Just over 5gpg and a low iron content of of .26 mg/l, 3...
