Deciding right now on what resin to buy. Thank you to all who have helped!

Do you feel it's worth the money? We have very hard water and some iron. What resin would you recommend?

Going to start with replacing the resin. Do most dealers use the Purolite brand?

We have had this current water softener in our house for 18 years. We also have a water neutralizer before the softener. Have been reading quite a bit on this forum lately with water softener systems. I don't feel our water lathers up or suds up like it use to. I've always used rust remover...

Thank you for the additional input. So their pump ends are ok, the motors are not very good.

Thank you again! In the area I live in, the well drillers use Sta-Rite and Berkeley. I think mainly because the company that owns them is based out of my home state of Wisconsin. If I'm reading posts on this forum correctly, these are pumps to stay away from?

Thank -you! Do you like Goulds? What pump model would I need in a Goulds?

This past weekend replaced all filters on my rotors. They didnt appear to be to bad but showed signs of buildup. I also pulled the cap off of my well and their appeared to be plenty of water when the system was running. I'm only 28feet down. Pump wasn't hissing like it was not getting water.

Five years ago we had our sprinkler system professionally installed. We have 40 total heads. Eight zones- five heads on a zone. When it was installed each sprinkler head had 3gpm nozzles. This year I Noticed we didn't have the pressure like we used too. I changed nozzles on each sprinkler head...

update This weekend I changed the nozzles on my rainbird 5004's. I went from 3gpm nozzles to 2gpm nozzles. My pressure is great and have finally got proper distance back. My next question is should I have our well driller come back out to check the condition of our pump. Five years ago when...
