This is our new house and we need a softener system as we are ready to have the hot water tanks and such installed. The plumbing has been on for awhile now, just to use toilets, test the fixtures and get water for mixing grout and such.
The well is 240 ft deep. The well log shows 6 gpm of flow from the well and a static water level of 30 ft. The submersible pump is a 10 GPM and I am seeing around 8-10 GPM flow at the pressure tank. I have a 32 gallon pressure tank with a 40/60 switch. The house has 3-1/2 baths and 2 kitchen sinks. My wife and I and 3 yr old twins will live there.
I had a comprehensive water test done by a local lab here in Michigan. Complete results are listed below.
Got a recommendation from Ohio Pure Water for a Fleck 2510 40,000 grain system, 1.25 cu. ft. resin with 10 GPM SFR and 2.5 GPM backwash. Also they recommended a RO system for drinking water.
Does anything look surprising about my water test? Anything you can add? We need a system soon, I don't want to start messing up appliances and hot water tanks. I really do not know much about softeners, can someone please recommend a system for me?
Thank You all!
Ron.
