Really Hard Water with a Lot of Iron
Hi All! We're just hoping someone here has found something we haven't been able to find... a full RV water softener that removes a ridiculous amount of iron for $500 or less. The only ones we can f...

westend, yep, that makes sense to me - not enough surface space. We asked about the campground water when we first got here, saying "there is something terribly wrong here". The owner told us it is safe to drink (I certainly don't believe that) and people who live here have water softeners. So we figured it'd be OK to take showers and wash dishes. Almost non-potable indeed! I like the idea of a water barrel! That never occurred to me. Thank you :).
dadmomh, this is the worst water we've ever seen too! Todd looked into a water service like that, was really expensive. I think these companies are taking advantage of people because we all need water and they can. Thank you for the good luck (we sure need it) and suggestion! It really is nasty stuff! All our water features in the camper are that brown-orange color now. the bathroom faucet tip is clogged and sitting on the booth table though we soaked it recently in CLR, about to do it again. The dishes all have that filthy color... even my hair was about 50% white, not anymore, I could go on.
Todd went back to the water store today. The sales person does seem to be trying to help us out. He had a recommendation that is usually used for a house and is trying to find fittings so we can use it with a hose. He told Todd to come back tomorrow. Todd can't remember what it's called but I'll let ya'll know tomorrow. We know it's less than $300.
There are nice temporary jobs for travelers here. It's a shame there is this awful problem. The campground is nice, the people are nice. Not worth it if we can't figure this out. I'm with dadmomh, "there must be someone out there that knows the solution".
We sure do appreciate you all!
I tried to post this earlier but lost internet connection and copied and pasted onto notepad. Now that we're back on I told Todd about myredracer's links - the first is what we're getting, hopefully tomorrow! Oh my gosh, exactly what you said! Fingers crossed!
