What could cause red resin beads? First Photo is my old resin in a 5 gallon bucket after extraction. Second photo is the new Resin. No idea how long the original resin was there, I've never changed it in the 4.5 years or so lived in this house. No stains in any appliances.
Why I changed the resin? Been in house 4 years. New to well water treatment. Never had sediment filter prior to softener 4 years. Water has been great. Passed year needed to increase frequency of regeneration for the softener. Noticed my drinking water filter turning reddish with a lot of sediment. Then noticed a smell in dishes. Glasses rainbow colored. Finding out I had so much sediment, I now have a sediment filter prior to softener. Pipes feeding softener have the red film in pipes. I assume rust idk. Post softener nothing. I assume the softener is taking the red stuff out.
Of course I've done my own research. Want to see what you have to say before disclosing my data. Water tests show no bacteria, no iron. so idk
