[AT] Way OT SOLUTION

[Dick Day]

Based on suggestions from this forum, my plumber and the local Culligan 
dealer, we will be installing a Culligan whole-house Filter Cleer water 
treatment system plus a water softener.  Under the kitchen sink, they will 
install a reverse osmosis water purification system.

Also, our old 50-gallon hot water heater is being replaced with a new Rheem 
on-demand tankless water heater.

Thanks to all!

Dick

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
