House has 6 bathrooms. While my wife and I are the only constant residents, we Airbnb rent the lake level with 6-8 additional people at various times throughout the warm season. Trying to supply complete information so that I get the right equipment. No softener currently installed.
- Well supplies 7.5 GPM right after the storage tank.
- No significant iron in the water. No orange rings in house.
- We inject chlorine, then water goes into a storage tank, then through a filter that takes most of it out.
- Despite the chlorine, we get a strong sulfur smell, but only after water is unused for over a week or so. This smell gets very strong to a connection that remains unused for months (e.g. unused bathroom over garage). No noticeable smell from connections that are used daily.
- PH level is 8.4+ as measured via test strip
- Hardness is 12-13 gpg as measured, by me, via a simple test kit.
- All water treatment is in garage and uses 1" PVC lines.
- RO system recently installed so salt in the water should not be an issue.
