I have a friend who is looking for a solution. His water test shows hardness of 179 and iron of 0.6ppm and it's municipal water with Chloramine.
The water test results show that he can easily achieve soft water with a standard salt based water softener.
But I know nothing about the effects of Chloramine on a water softener. I've read here where the life of your resin is reduced with chlorine, I would guess the same or maybe even worse with Chloramine.
For drinking water and refrigerator water, he's keen to use an RO system, which seems right and as I understand it would remove the Chloramine for their drinking water.
So my big question is the effects of Chloramine on a softener? Does something need to be done to remove that prior to the softener? Or is it just continue with a standard softener with reduced life of his media?
What would be the best recommendation?
Thanks, gabo
