Getting ready to put in a water softener and was advised to install a GAC filter to remove chlorine ahead of the softener. I have city water (no iron) and chlorine level range of .22-.35 ppm with a running annual average of .30 ppm. Is this high enough to rate installing a filter? (I live in Hawaii, so am paying a major premium on parts and labor - paradise tax, lol)
What I've read online seems to indicate that 1 ppm is the level at which resin bead oxidization starts.
As an add-on question: I've seen varying opinions on using 8% vs 10% crosslink resin. With low (or no) chlorine, is there a major benefit to using 10%?
Any input or recommendations would be much appreciated!
