Then we finally decided to put in a new artesian well ... which did the trick for the most part ... winter time brings a bit of the iron back for some weird reason.<br><br>Glad you've worked out your water delivery and know you will enjoy washing whites and having them stay that way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395555111688403818.post-52876388828404070712008-05-01T14:10:00.000-07:002008-05-01T14:10:00.000-07:00I am glad that ya'll figured out what to do.

Even my daughters blond hair had a red tint to it espically at the bottom. We have lived in out mobile home or 9 years now. 3 years ago we bought a water softener from Rain soft. It was quite expensive. Probably a little more than i wanted to pay. But it is really worth it. No more orange clothes. They told me it would pull that orange tint out of my daughter hair and it did. I'm happy with it. I'm sure you will be too. And the water taste much much better. And you wouldn't have to use as much shampoo, or dish and body soap. Everything will lather up much better with less product. And when i make tea i didn't even have to use quite as much sugar believe it or not.<br>Strange but nice. <br>I'm happy every thing is coming right along for you guys. I know how happy i was to get my new home 9 years ago.

As for the amount of sodium one receives while drinking water that goes through a water softener, one might use this comparison, to help better understand how much sodium is in "softened" water. If you ate one slice of white bread, to get the same amount of sodium from softened water, one would have to drink three (3) gallons of water to get an equal amount as the one slice of bread contained. <br><br>Also...please check..even if you elect not to hook on the water line, you may, as I am, and have been for quite a long time, a monthy fee, with no water provided...<br><br>Good luck.........dale........until I retired, I was in the water treatment business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
