Hi,
I have a very old Kenmore water softener that needs replaced. I'm on a well in Vermont with iron, sulfur smell, and stubborn white deposits forming on all of my fixtures. I recently had a company come in and test my water with the following results, although I'm unsure if they bypassed the current softener (if it's working at all) long enough to for these to be valid:
Hardness: 17
Fe: 1.5
MFe: 0
Mn: .15
pH: 7.2
TDS: 278
H2S: Slight
Based on these results, I was quoted $2,700 for installation of a Clack 1044 conditioner w/KDF, 10" BB conditioner housing, two 20 micron filters and two bags of salt.
Does this price seem right? Is this system appropriate for my needs as tested above? Appropriate if the tests were flawed by testing already softened water?
Thanks for your help; this can be overwhelming!
