[chef larry]

yup
i started the day by midway dropping off these girl scout drugs called crack cookies. then the south side of chicago, then east chicago, then hammond, and finally saw acteon and he lives in wooded landed where jason from halloween comes out.

plus im sure racoons were all around.

So you were in good company with the masked bandits. Did you make S'mores and sing around the campfire and go snipe hunting?

Maybe you don't live in a high iron area.
Out of the tap, the water is discolored.

After my initial test, my iron level was low.

He said that driving to my neighborhood from the back roads, he felt transported to Kentucky.

In other news saw GhostorWinter and his bride with a couple of children out eating at golden corral.

He needs to go to Cedartucky.

He needs to go to Cedartucky.

As long as he stays out of far suburban Lowellabama all will be good in the world.

We do have hard water and can smell the iron when the salt gets low. 6 bags fill our salt tank.

Usually you smell sulfur but see the iron. I have high iron but very little surfer so almost no smell for untreated water but it turns orange quickly. Run it through a softener and its all good.

We've gone a few months without refilling salt and had no issues with water changing colors.

You can see the iron at my place.
People that watered their lawn and let the sprinkler hit the house have marks.

Funny you should say this.

I was taking a shower and thinking "I smell blood". Initially thought I had a nosebleed, but noticed the soap was rinsing off better than usual. Checked the salt tank - empty.

My water smells of blood and farts both. The fart smell never really goes away, but the iron/blood smell does as long as the softener's working. Blood smell is the first thing that cues me into needing to refill salt.

I've gotten used to showering in farts, but not blood.

We've gone a few months without refilling salt and had no issues with water changing colors.

Even without running out, and using the green bag Morton's salt, the toilet tanks get a ton of rust. Toilet bowls get orange'd if they're not scrubbed weekly. We were gone for two weeks last Feb and I had to get my hand down in the bowl with a scrubber because the toilet brush wasn't cutting it.

When I bought the house and turned the well on, the water ran straight orange for a long time.

 

[actaeon277]

Yup. That's how my house was. When I had a well.

 

[KLB]

A filter does much more good for iron for us than the softener does. I have to change it every 3 or 4 weeks, but there is a world of difference if it is not changed.

 

[actaeon277]

I had a whole house filter, and the softener.

Getting ready to drop this Eotech NWI special down to $300 even. Thought I would let you ladies and gentlemen here know first!

 

[1775usmarine]

All this talk about softeners made me remember I need to change the filter. Its coming up on 6 months.
