DIYer, not in the trades
I keep reading specs where they make mention of the inbound water temperature but they don't go into detail. Am I doing a disservice to my softener efficiency by insulating my tanks and pipes to stop them from sweating?
I'm contemplating not insulating the fiberglass contact tank that holds about 20 gallons and the 10 foot run of 1-1/4" PVC pipe to the iron filter. Being that they are non-metallic, they don't sweat as profusely as the 1" copper pipe after the iron filter that I have already insulated. Granted, at this time of year there is not as much outdoor water use so time will tell how badly they will sweat.
I have ordered but have not yet received zip on jackets for the iron filter and softener 10x54 tanks.
