The house had had acidic, and rock hard well water for about 20 years.
The toilets and certain fixtures are permanently stained blue from it and fixing it to the degree that was needed was a time consuming and expensive process
I could have put the softener at the well head, but then Id be dumping the brine on top of my well and Id be using softened water for irrigation ripping through tons of salt.
No room inside the house for it.
Had to.
Create a pad and enclosure outside that isnt an eyesore but looks like it was part of the house originally.
Add the softener, Add calcite filter.
Replumb both to flush the brine slurry into the septic transfer tank
Re plumb the filtration system putting the 20 micron glass spun filter at the wellhead, and a big blue carbon block coming out of the calcite filter and softener polishing what goes into the house.
Split the softened water, running unsoftened water to the irrigation taps on the side and back, but running softened water to the front hose bib so you wash eth vehicles with softened water laminated the etching and hard water spots we get now.
Its no wonder the original owners didnt do this -It took a lot of time and effort and money to get it right.
Going to repair the whole house soon so just primed the containement
Ill put-up a few more picts later.
