Hi,
Pardon me if I posted in the wrong forum; however, I am having rust issues in the house that I live in. I rent the house and I have been living here for about a year and half, and when I first moved here the water didn't contain rust; however, it did have a funny smell whenever I would turn on the hot water. Now, the sinks are getting slowly but surely stained, but I'm mainly concerned that I can't do laundry with white clothes because they end up with an orangish color to them. I am on well water so I have kept up the salt in the water softener, and made sure to change out the filter cartridge regularly. I did notice though that the salt used to run out faster last year than it has this year, and that I have been going through the filter cartridges a lot faster. Should I be changing the water filter as well or am I okay by simply replacing the cartridge?
Can someone please help, I'm straight out of school and living on my own so I don't have any experience with these kinds of problems?
Thanks,
Tiff
