Hi westend and 2oldman!
Thank you for your replies! We use two regular RV water filters (always) and we tried a portable water softener that uses salt. It was $305 and did a pretty good job for one whole day. We can't remember the brand name. Todd spoke to the salesperson who recommended doubling the salt so he did. For two days we had salt water then right back to iron water so it went back.
westend, I hear ya with the bleach. We've put vinegar in the fresh tank and are leaving it in the pipes overnight to try and flush out some of the crud. I've read regular softeners really don't work on iron or sulfur, they're two different beasts. The paper filters are a great idea but this water is so bad I'm afraid we'd go through one per day!
2oldman, thank you for researching too!
