We had this system in : another location with a different water company : (for about a year) and did not have this problem. : Our water hardness (untreated) is 35 grains. : Reply to this address or [email protected] sounds like you may have acidic water, which has nothing to do with the fact that you have a water softener. Both hard and soft water can be acidic. Ask your Kinetico dealer to test your waters pH. Visit Kineticos Web site if you have additional questions.
