[AT] Way OT

Robert, Eco Water is one that I've looked at.  The problem is that there are 
so many brands, until you actually know someone who has one, it's like 
shooting craps :)

Hi Dick, we installed an Eco Water system a couple years ago to treat our 
hard water.
They are from Minnesota and have been in business since 1925.
Our system uses salt but only a lb. or so each time it cycles. It cleared up 
all our iron
problems in a few days.
We tried a Natures Way first and it did nothing for us. Also the Eco Water 
system was
less money.
Google Ecowater for more info.

Tractor reference:  Thank you for all of the replies and feedback concerning 
the trailer ball mount.  The local dealer took the Draw-Tite back and has 
ordered a Hidden Hitch (made in Canada).  Also, I just sold a WD, so now I 
have room for that Huber waiting for me down in MO :)

Now my problem:

We live on 20 acres just outside of town and have a well.  We will not drink 
the water, nor will we use it for cooking, we use bottled water instead.

The water here has a very high iron and Manganese content as well as being 
very hard.  It also has that rotten egg smell.

In just the few years we have been here, the water has turned our white 
sinks and tubs almost brown and we've replaced numerous faucets due to 
corrosion.  Now I find out that the LP water heater needs to be replaced.

We need some type of whole house water treatment system. I imagine many on 
this list also live out in the country and may also have water problems.

Has anyone installed a water treatment system?  I've searched the net and 
there are a gazillion brands/models out there.  Some use magnets, others use 
filters and salt.  Some sound too good to be true.  I would love to hear 
from someone who has been through this to hear how they solved their 
problems.

Again, sorry for the off topic thread, but the knowledge and experience of 
the atis members never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks!

Dick
