I'll keep this short and simple...
Is it normal to have 10-20 seconds of yellow water after installing a brand new water softener? It was the colour of morning pee.
A few points
- Well water
- Ran hard water for almost 2 weeks. softener was preforming poorly for at least 6 months. (moved in 6 months ago)
- Fine mesh resin
- water was turned on for about 5-10 seconds during first regen. (forgot to tell the wife not to use the water)
- .02 iron after birm/aeration system. 4ppm before.
- Just finished redoing a bunch of plumbing and doubled my flow from <5gpm to 10gpm (@ bath tub)
Does the colour come from the new resin? Or is it possible that iron build-up, from before the iron filter was installed, can be washed out of the (copper) pipes?
Thanks.
