Fun with water

[3175375]

I have installed a whole house filtration and softening system in the house.
It consists of an iron filter (that backflushes), a 100 and 25 micron particle filters and a water softener.
Pex pipe is easy to use and I have a combination of crimp and push on fittings.

Next is to replace the water heater as it appears to be made in 1994. I tried to drain it and a dribble came out.

DAMN!!!!! The water is that bad an SD? I could probably see if you lived in Michigan. Lol

Nice work……

We’re on rural water, but I have a well and can switch between either.

I thought about it and had done it at the house in California. But no!

I did use all brass ball valves and elbows. Replaced a plastic one too.

Looks like you've got the same setup as me. When we moved in, whenever you turned on any water source, it smelled like septic. Apparently there's a lot of sulfur in the ground water in MS. $3500 later and we can take a shower without wanting to puke!

Completed the water heater install.

We have ignition (unlike Artimis I).
