Ok so heres an interesting one, well maybe maybe not... I had a new water softener installed earlier this year in March, a Fleck 7000 sxt 1.5 cubic of resin. Softener was configured to regen every 7 days. Everything has been good until this past week or so. I've noticed the toilet water, even right after scrubbing and cleaning the toilet, appears dirty? i guess dirty is the right word, maybe its yellowish water, right after flushing it. Flush it and leave the water sit for a few hours and it looks like someone took a pee and didn't flush. Suspecting that perhaps it was time to change the whole house sediment water filter I did that this evening. It had been exactly 3 months since i last changed it. After doing so I ensured i had salt in my softener and manually ran a regeneration on it. The salt level was down from the last time I had checked it a few weeks back. After the regen completed I cleaned and flushed the toilets several times. Toilet still fills up with seemingly cloudy water. I also noted that water from a couple of the bathroom faucets has a more than usual iron smell to it.
I made sure my shutoff main valves are in the right position and not allowing any unsoftened water to pass by. Everything looks legit and good, but still getting cloudy water and a slight iron smelling water.
of note too perhaps, I've been using res-care cleaner in the softener religously every week since getting it installed. I maybe have missed 2 or 3 weeks of putting the res-care cleaner in, for the most part I've put it in every week. Also I'm using some salt with rust remover currently.
also all pipes in my house are copper.
