Summary: Service water is salty, leaves desposits, corrodes. Wanting to know if I need to fix / adjust the system or need to install a Manganese prefilter to help.
Details: We have a well and water softener system and have had our water tested a few times. We know it is high in Manganese and the brine tank tends to turn cloudy and brown despite cleaning it every year. We also remove and clean the build up on the mesh screen filter and white nozzles on the Fleck SXT5600 every year or so. We do use res care to clean the resin. The softener does seem to take care of the Manganese and the water is soft, but we have salty service water leaving deposits on our fixtures and glasses in the dishwasher taste a bit salty. I read somewhere it can be due to the softener combating the Manganese.
It's a pain to keep cleaning the brine tank and filters and the salt takes toll on our fixtures. We are interested in a solution.
Is there something like adjusting the rinse cycle, brine draw settings, cleaning additional parts we can do?
Is there an affordable prefilter that will take care of manganese? We don't need a system that strips everything out of the water because the other levels are fine.
Thank you so much. Ready for this problem to be gone.
