i learned something,my well is 500 ft deep the aquifer is in lime stone and caries all the way down,i was thinking of adding a big tank and run the water threw a softner,damn lime tears the plumbing up,never ending,hell im a lazy bastard im sick of toilet and sink repairs hahahah,under cover stoner too hahahahah,my gardens do fine with the water ,but the fixtures in the house hell every other month it seemsWater softeners use salt like sodium chloride, a plant killer, but great for suppressing hard water. UV sterilization gets rid of bad, but also good. Can you tap your line coming in before both of those? Other option, water delivery service. Our well water was amazing right from the ground in the North east, have you had yours tested?
my well has a filter right out of the tank before it goes into lines,when my water pressure starts to slow i change it,there 7 of use on property and what i need is a 5k storage tank,after about 30 min of watering garden ,water slows to a crawl and give it 10 min it refills the pressure tankok, so it’s not just me. IsThere an alternative to add to the softener that doesn’t mess up your plans? Or a inline filter that could remove the salt just to the hose? if not I do have a cistern I could add a pump to try to use that water?
my pressure tank has a spikot ,you have to drain tank before you change filter,filters are cheap but damn it starts to add up once a month,i plan on a 5k storage tank,when i get it our make one,the pressure tank gonna be moved by it,i will plum the pipes coming out were i dont have to drain the tank to change filter and turn well breaker off,lmao im lazy ,hell on house fixtures but the soil buffers it for gardens
sounds like texas,only rain i get is a green water hose hahahahAn amazing difference in tolerating and using the elevated ppm well water when the plants are in the ground. All the plants outside this season got it straight from the hose as we got no rain all July and just an inch in August and all are booming. It shows me the real difficulty in replicating mother nature in a container, indoors. Not that I'm going to give up (my soil is 5 years recycled) on trying lol. Just dyin' to post a pic of my legal babies this year, I'll ask the boss lol.
