Well water question.

Yeah, we had to do this when we installed the Kinetico softener when we bought the place 3 years ago. I was amazed at the amount of "gunk" that came out of the pipes, and to his credit the Kinetico guy did warn us that this would happen. If memory serves it took about 5-6 months for everything to clean-up....

For the life of me I don't know how the previous/original owners lived with that water for all those years!

When I bought my home in 1986, I found that the previous owners lived here with their water softener turned off. All of the sinks, toilet and shower were severely rust stained. I don’t know what they did with rust colored white clothing. The water softener wasn’t damaged or clogged, just turned off. I guess they just couldn’t carry down 80 pound bags of salt anymore.
