Hello everyone!
This city boy has finally found a little slice of paradise 'out in the country'.
It's super nice and very quiet, I love it. But it also means I have to learn about where water comes from (and where it goes :/ )
The water is very hard, smells pretty strongly (both hot and cold), and has rust / leaves red staining.
I've been doing research and did have the water tested with the 'Tap Score' test from Simple Lab reccomended here and elsewhere.
The results are here:

I did budget a fair amount to 'fix' this and am willing to do what is needed to get it right. I would prefer not to have to use salt (the lower maintenence the better).
I'm thinking, a mutli stage Pentek filter setup, then a good quality water softener? But I really don't know and would just be throwing stuff at the wall to see what stuck.
Any ideas or comments?
Pete
