Hello, I have a part time home and have installed 2.5 cu ft acid neutralizer . The house sits for a month at a time. When I leave I turn it off as well as the water pump .(worried about leaks) when I return I push manual regenerate and backwash my problem is everytime i leave and comeback my water is brown and i have flush whole house to get rid of brown water what is causing this and what kind of filter between tank and house can I use to get rid of brown water, sorry so long wanted to get all info in Thanks,Mike

I would collect brown water in a glass jar, and let it sit. Does it clear out overnight? Do you see sediment settle on the bottom?

Maybe run an outside faucet for a couple of minutes after turning the pump on. Maybe better yet, drain the pressure tank a couple of times before backwashing the calcite. So with the pump off, run water out of the drain valve at the pressure tank. Leave the drain with the hose attached. Then turn the pump on until the pump stops. Turn the pump off, and let the pressure tank completely drain. Maybe monitor what comes out, especially at the beginning and end of the draining. The purpose of this is to remove stuff that may have accumulated in the pressure tank and the well.

I would then try backwashing your calcite filter twice, instead of once, before using water in the house.

Some of the words did, but not enough to make sense to me.

Would a filter between regeneration tank and house supply line help

I would want one anyway, but I don't know if it will help with the brown.
