Untreated well water test results (prior to installation of water softener):
Nitrate = 3.7 mg/l
Iron = .002 mg/l
CA CO3 = 174 mg/l
PH = 7.075
Now what? Is RO/DI the way to go? If I buy such a unit, should the softened water be routed through it or the straight well water? Tank is in the design stage, but will be FOWLR.
Jeez, every hour of research I do seems to indicate I have to spend about another $100. Sobering, since last time I had a SW tank, I substituted patience for water testing (didn't even own a test kit) and was quite successful. TIA.
