Welcome to our forum.
Fill with half soft and half hard if you can. Surg has given good advice. With well water your going to have a high ph. I use muric acid. If i add, its never more than a teaspoon at a time.
Thanks so much! Now - you said something interesting... about part hard part soft water... They were VERY specific when they installed the tub - to turn off the water softener. But you do part and part... why can't someone come up with a definitive guide!?! It IS science afterall - shouldn't it be a less subjective process?? Makes me nutty! LOL... I am glad to know you use dichlor. I want dh to find that and try it... Thanks again!
Take both samples in to get tested and make sure they do an accurate Calcium test on both samples use the water with the lower hardness reading its easier to bring up levels than trying to lower them Once your hardness levels are over 300 you will never get them back down with any mineral remover.
