Yuck, Im glad we got city water a while ago. Our well had lots of iron in it so it was all funky tasting. Plus it stained anything white into a pee yellow. We got city water back in 94, our well finally went in 2004. Watertable dropped from all the new houses out here. But anyway, if your water was like mine, do you have a water softener? If not the membrane does not last long[b said:Quote[/b] (droseraguy @ June 19 2006,3:40)]Haven't tested the water yet but it sure tastes better than the straight well
I read somewhere that running the softened water through the filter worked better because the salts were easier to remove than the minerals. Whether it's true or not I don't know. I would think though, that as salt is a disolved solid, it would be removed the same as the minerals are.[b said:Quote[/b] (JB_OrchidGuy @ June 20 2006,8:36)]The only thing about a water softener is it replaces the hardness with salt. VERY BAD FOR PLANTS. Does the RO system remove all the salt afterwords?
