My apologies if I'm re-posting something that has been asked 50x over, read through a lot of older posts hoping to find something close to problem I am having but all seem to have been occurring as mine just randomly popped up yesterday but was fine beforehand. So onto the problem at hand.
My wife called me from our house in Alaska today and apparently out of the blue the water tasted like salt, not a small hint of salt, but take a gulp of ocean water salt. I'm currently deployed so only get what she is saying however she says the water pressure has dropped since I left 3 months ago, "go figure, now she tells me." She has changed all water filters with exact ones we used since always. She hasn't changed the water softener settings or anything like that. Which has me wondering is this something that is water softener related because it uses salt? I am not a plumber by any means, but didn't think there was a way the softener line could back feed into the well.
As I am deployed I will most likely have to call a plumber, however would like to know a few ideas before I get bent over because I'm overseas for another 9 months. Just don't wanna buy a new boiler, well, and pump if I can change a filter.
Thank you in advance for all of your help and guidance.
