yep a chocolate lab
originally I thought I would require a water softner. As I'm learning, that won't solve my delema. The two minerals from what I am told that generally make up "hard water" are Ca (0.5 ppm) and Mg (0.9 ppm) in my analysis. The iron is visable and this is a new construction and I'd hate to turn the bath tubs orange. I hate to spend the money, but I'd really hate to replace the fixtures and then spend the money for an iron filter and pH increaser.
