So I'm in the Owings area. I'm on a well. I've been here around 7 years so far. The water has been tested and it's hard, around 14.6 GPG and .31 PMP of iron. I've consulted with many people and It comes down to a 48,000 Grain water softener. I've pinpointed it down to a Fleck 5600 SXT softener. The issue I'm having is the amount of water use with these softeners, It apparently uses around 89 gallons per regeneration. The generation is calculated on a weekly basis. The softener is an on-demand model, so it calculates the amount of water use to determine the next regeneration.
Just curious does anyone really soften their water here, or do you guys just accept the extra cleaning, soap scum and iron staining issues?
