Nashua is super close, do you have a lead over there of a trust worthy person?

Holy smokes, information overload!! Thanks guys, now I need to find a plumber in my area who I trust and can help me make decisions on replace tank, or if I have dirty pipes.

No, this is output from a faucet that the RO is not hooked up to. Just all the softening equipment. One of the brine tanks was EMPTY when i moved in, might have been when the home inspector took the samples too?

If I had a cooperative old owner, I wouldnt be here. :) Trying to gain as much knowledge as I can and now kill the kids at the same time. I have the controller manuals here. The timers all seem to be roughly one minute apart.....old owners said he just added blue bags of salt, and bought...

The last home owner mentioned pot perm. Can I add this myself? Is there a certain brand or % I should buy? How high should I fill the tank? I am using blue bags of salt in the other 2 large brine tanks.... Is that what you folks here would recommend as well?

Sorry, yes some cross over. Sticking to the water softening end of this topic....what does the small tank all the way to the right do? Has skull and cross bones sticker on it. What goes in there?

I know zero about plumbing, zero. I am trying to learn here as I go, and hope I don't get royally screwed in the process. Any of you local and want to do the job for me and evaluate the system? I would rather give the $ to a board member and know its done right. @valveman.....if you ave an...

The strainers are all good, if any two water outlets are running at the same time.... Pressure turns to a dribble house wide. It could be a shower on 2nd floor and a faucet on 1st. Or someone Flushing the toilet. Anytime anything asks for water when water is already running we get huge drops...

Posted here about a month ago (we finally moved into our new home!!) inquiring what the equipment is in the attached picture. You guys were great with helping me realize what I had! Had a well company come out. They will replace the tank with a "120 model" pressure tank for $850. They...

Had a well company come out. They will replace the tank with a "120 model" pressure tank for $850. They said the tank is leaving and needs to be replaced. It was installed in 1984. We turned off the power, ran a faucet until it was empty and it still tested 34psi in the tank. He seemed...

Thanks Gary! Are these good brands? Or should I be looking at others?

Have some pics of the chemicals and equipment from the seller (still not closed yet). Are there any more 'natural' salts/chemicals we can use?
