I just bought a new home on well water. The previous owner was paying around $1000.00 a year for water treatment rental (RO on the kitchen sink and a softener that also chlorinates the water) I had them pull out there equipment thinking I could buy equipment for less the a year of rental.
We plan to buy drinking and cooking water for now, so RO is not needed. I bought a water test kit from Home Depot. The water tested fine other than being hard (around 250 PPM). It has some sulfur and iron. The County is coming tomorrow to test for bacteria and nitrates
My question is will a standard water softener remove enough minerals to safely use it in truckmounts?
Most of the water softeners I looked at only remove around 100 PPM. That leaves 150 PPM hard water. Can I daisy chair two water softeners to remove more minerals? The guy at the county said some calcium is beneficial in residential pluming because if prevents corrosion and stops heavy metals from binding with the water.
Is there a maximum PPM water hardness recommended by truckmount and chemical manufactures?
