hi,
Got a couple questions about these 2 softener tanks in the picture.
The tank on the left looks to have a timer on top. What function does it do? I don’t know if the electric timer works or not.
The tank on the right I unscrewed the lid and it has a 3/4 plastic tube attached to lid. The tube looks to be 2 pieces with holes in half of upper part. The bottom solid tube seems to have a ball bearing inside. The tube is broke and would anyone know where I could buy another?
Also would this tank be the salt tank? If so how much salt do I add?
This tank or probably both are coated with orange iron that I want to clean out.
If I use the softener will it help clear my water? Water is slightly brown or rust color.
Here are the pics. It’s a well and the PA DEP did a test last year and it check out fine he said.
Thank you,
Greg
