Hi I need advice fast please. 3 years ago I built and plumbed a single family two story home w/pex and s/s crimp rings w/brass pex crimp fittings Several of the exposed fittings in the basement are getting a crusty white substance at the crimp joint and one is slowly dripping.. Also my tankless takagi water heater has failed three internal leaks.. So I had an extensive lab water test post 20 micron filter, Katalox rust filter and water softener.. The findings are crazy 890mg/l sodium and 2000PPM TDS making the water crap. I am waterfront and the small property makes it impossible to drill a new well. Septic front yard, well back yard water front lake. No way to get a drill rig to the backyard!! BTW the only thing I did not do was drill the 78 foot water well in 1978. Previous owner died and cabin/land sold as is but he lived there for 25 years and the smoking not the water killed him. So I assumed the water was at least useable stupid me. Does anyone know if a Whole House RO system will clean up my crap water? I've never seen/installed a large system that also needs a holding tank for the clean water then needs a second pump to push throughout the house. 2 adults 3 bathrooms Thanks for hanging in so far but I'm loosing sleep that all the pex fittings in the wall will fail real soon.
