Hi. I'm new to this site and water treatment. Thanks in advance for your help.
I recently sent my well water to be tested at karlabs. I have a capital water softener set up with a fleck 5600 meter. It is approximately 13 years old. In the spring I would like to install a new pump, water tank, and any other filters that are necessary as well as do any repairs necessary to my softener and copper pipes. I am looking for suggestions on what I need to have good drinking water and regular water in my home. Here are the results of the test.
All results are mg/L unless stated otherwise. It was the basic test. Anything not listed was not found in the well water.
