Well Water Softener in O Brien, OR

Well Water Softener in O Brien, OR

A softener on a well does more work than one on city water. Well water often carries iron and manganese along with calcium and magnesium, and each one uses up resin capacity. O Brien, OR Well Water Treatment sets up well water softeners in O Brien, OR as part of a full well water treatment plan, not as a stand-alone box.

We size the unit by compensated hardness. That means adding about 3 to 5 grains for every 1 mg/L of iron to your measured hardness, then multiplying by daily water use. A family of four using 75 gallons per person a day with 20 grains of compensated hardness needs about 6,000 grains of capacity per day. We pick a tank and regeneration setting from that.

Well-specific points we check:

• Whether an iron filter should go before the softener
• Fine mesh resin for better iron handling
• Backwash flow your pump can actually deliver
• Brine line and drain air gap to code

If your well has bacteria, a softener will not fix it. UV or chlorination comes first.
