Hey all
I just got my new Envoy delivered today but my electrician is afraid of torrential downpours and 220 volts (what a coward). So I won't get power until Friday morning. (I am very sad right now.....)
Anyway, I have to play with the new tub so I tested the new water with my Taylor kit. Prior to the fill, my tap water had a pH of 7.2. But the water now coming out of my tap and the new water in the tub is over 8.0. (very purple on the Taylor K2005 kit)
Due to my screwy well water, Watkins advised to use my softened water and then raise the calcuim later. I am wondering if filling a 450 gal tub caused the water softener or the pH treatment system to overtreat the water? I use a fairly recent Boss 700 water softner and raise the pH in my house with a pump system injecting a diluted Sodium Hydroxide mix into the house water. (My well water pH is below 4.0 untreated)
Any thoughts?
