Yep, agreed, our well pumps to a large settling tank before hitting our booster to pressure tank to softener/filter, so it gets nice and warm in the summer. Of course this week, our water in the house has been a brisk 40-50 degrees :p
Thanks for the recommendations and info!
We'll get the water tested and figure out an appropriate rebuild. Will probably post again then to get a sanity check or second opinions.

Yes, this has the removable base that threads onto the tank, so the 2500 it is. Thanks!
Per a PM from someone else, it's likely that the original media wasn't birm and the drain flow rate was too high for the media.
That said, when I got home this evening, I looked to double check the drain...
I replaced the media in our water softener (Fleck 5600) and iron filter (Fleck ???) a week or so ago and cleaned the valves, injectors, etc.
This was the system already installed when we bought the house.
I identified the softener as a 5600 and have a replacement piston, seals and spacers, brine...
