I've been lurking for years and appreciate the great information on this forum!
The well pump is ~900' in an aquifer that is well known to have high TDS and sulfate. Usage is ~120gallons a day but can vary. The hardware configuration is probably up for a lot of criticism but due to many considerations and already having equipment on hand, this made the most sense to me.
I will most likely need an ion exchange setup for the sulfate issue, placed downstream of the water softener. I would like to do another water test before adding the sulfate tank.
At this point, I would like suggestions on softener sizing and pros/cons of dual tanks. Since water usage is inconsistent and I hate the idea of regenerating before necessary, I am leaning towards the dual tanks. It seems that people here are somewhat against them. Yes, Clack or Fleck. If there are suggestions of reputable online sellers, I'd appreciate it.
Current:
5.1gpm well pump, Stenner chlorine injector, two (parallel) 1054 Zeosand filters, 2,500 gallon tank, pump/pressure tank, GAC 1054, 120' PEX(doesn't like chlorine), Big Blue filter, 350 gallon tank, pump/pressure tank. This is where I want to add the softener before it goes to points of use - and eventually the sulfate ion exchange setup.
