I recently had my water tested and was found to have a moderate iron and low sulphur content. This was being controlled by an outdated water softener. Since I had a water softener I had assumed that I had hard water. The water tester informed me that my water "wasn't that hard" and that the softener was more likely being used for the iron.
He did a hardness test and came back with 135-145ppm. He said thats not really that hard. I also did one with a Hatch (because I am anal) and got the same readings. According to charts I found through research that qualifies as moderate to hard water. Most information I found about when to use a softener peoples numbers we're WAY higher.
I installed a fleck system for my iron and sulphur and removed the old softener. I have noticed a difference in the feel of the water since doing so. Would it behoove me to put in a softener to further polish the water? Is my water hard or am I overreacting? Thanks
