Culligan wants $2600 to install a Promate 6 at my place. Seems a little salty...

It's odd that we get great soap suds. We are just getting a scale buildup on plumbing fixtures, etc. Culligan said that our water is a 10 on the hardness scale and has zero iron. The toilet staining could be from the hardness somehow??

Showering at my wife's house before we were married was terrible - you always felt slimy. She had a water softener installed and it was still bad. Gave me dandruff too. The water at our house now is great for showering - there is just a crazy mineral buildup.

Weird.

Iron stains orange in case you didn't know and lime is white.

Not sure what color this is.... hey, you asked for it... kinda.

I installed a bypass for using the outside water hose.

Why do you want unsoftened water for outside hoses? I have ideas, but may be missing something...

You might want to check your PH levels. If your PH is low it will cause the green build up on your plumbing fixtures.
