It will take a few days but the softener dealer looked at the 14.5K gallons to fill an said it would work. My softeners utilizes fine mesh resin which has in the past taken out most if not all of my iron. Typically a fine mesh resin softener can take up to 3 ppm of iron out reasonably well.

So, Should I use softened water?

Thanks a bunch.

I'm on a well with lots of nasty things (Iron, sulfur, super high Alk and who knows what else... ), and I filled my pool with the water from my treatment system and I've been totally happy! I have several filters and a salt softner, so if it's possible, I would sure consider it!
