I know this is a little far off from being a plumbing question, but with all of the knowledge I’ve found on this forum, I figured I’d give it a try.
I have a client that is on well water out here in Phoenix Az. where the water is as hard as a rock. She was getting a white film in her black kitchen sink, and on her shower head etc. She does have a water softener, and the first thing I thought of is the softener is not working, or it’s not sized correctly. So she had a factor rep come out and everything was working like it should.
I then tasted the film, and it tasted salty. She took a sample of the water (sampled from a point outside, before it came into the house) and took the sample in to have the water analyzed. The results came back where she has salt and salt by-products in the water.
Does anyone know how to remove (or neutralize) salt form water coming into the house. I’ve heard that you can’t use a reverse osmosis system, because the water will damage copper lines in the house.
Thanks for any help,
Mike
