gsmith22 Thanks for the response. Very good point about the CYA, it's something I hadn't considered. I ordered the fittings in the link posted and they will work - the ones in the link above can split the tanks and allow me to use one tank for active carbon on my house water, and the other...

Yeah I guess I'll have to spend a lot more $$ :( the water was smelling bad like sulfur, and I have iron staines - those are the main reasons I was wanting to treat it. The house inspection when I bought it only tested for nitrates, but I had a water company come and test it for free but can't...

JEESH I thought it was an RO system so I guess I screwed up buying that thing.. So I guess I should switch gears and run the single softener tank followed by the active carbon tank and maybe the softener will help keep the active carbon good for longer? Then I'll just have to drain the pool...

OK so maybe just emptying pool and re-filling with treated water will be best. I've already removed the iron from the pool water so was hoping to just get rid of some TDS / nitrates but doesn't look like that's the best option.

OK that sounds like an option for my house - add chlorine treatment and blow down (air chamber?). I'll look that up later but I currently have two issues: 1. My well water that feeds the house has iron and sulfur so RO isn't performing well (installed 3 years ago the fleck9100SXT). My...

So am I dreaming to use this to help my pool water? I have algae issues and shock / algaecide aren't working well anymore. I saw an ad for mobile pool water RO treatment for areas that have low water usage requirements and thought it could work here since I don't like pumping iron water from...

The resin is whatever came with the Fleck 9100, tiny brown beads. The adapter is the wrong size? I have the 'yoke' and 'tube' assembly I thought I should be able to use those pieces as long as the O-ring side is the larger size. but they never list the diameter of that side of the fitting.

So I bought a fleck 9100 SXT a few years ago and installed for whole house. Since they advertised 4PPM iron removal I thought it would be a good fix but turns out it's not great at removing iron. I also have sulfur and magnesium. So I have come up with a plan to separate the two tanks and use...
