Hello, I've been an interested observer here for a short while and have gained some insight to be sure. Seeking input on replacing an existing, Poorly functioning 20 yr old system. There are just us 2 adults, and the occasional visitor, maybe 100 gal a day avg for everything. We're on a well here in South West Florida, have test results from National. (attached) Hardness is extreme, PH 7.2, Iron 0.3, we have the typical SW Fl. H2S. As well as inorganics as shown in the results. Flow is 7-9 gpm at the well pump, and the 300 gal aerator tank has it's own 1/2 hp submersible pump. My thinking so far is this, Spin down filter first, then "Florida style" aerator tank, (seems to be actually sufficient for the H2S), Some type of carbon filter then to the softener. My research to this point indicates the need for some serious capacity at the softener, 80k grain ! perhaps a twin tank system ? Resin options are a question, as well as the carbon filter media choices?. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I think 2 cuft of resin in a 12x52 inch tank would be good. No need for two tanks. Expect regen each about 9 or 10 days. That is what marketers call a 64k grain softener, but do not use that number in calculations.

If outside, protect plastic stuff from the sun. This includes pipes.
