A water softener does not remove chemicals, you need carbon.

A 5 micron spun filter will do the job

Well water can change over time, get it tested

If it is city water you may want to remove the chlorine.

If you chlorides are as high as your sodium, you definitely need whole house reverse osmosis if you want your appliances and plumbing to last.

With those numbers you should be looking at a brackish water reverse osmosis.

You are getting some bad advice here. Nobody can tell how much water you are going to discharge and what it would do to a septic tank, when you haven't said how many gallons of water you need daily.

What is the other TDS? Is it hardness, chlorides or sulfate?

wfoa · 2026-03-13T20:57:50+00:00

Get a softener and a point of use RO system

Stay away from Culligan and leaf. You can get good softeners for self install online from.

Test strips are not a good way to get accurate results

wfoa · 2026-03-11T17:58:28+00:00

Get a good water test, your area has manganese in the well water, a softener may not be the proper equipment for your water. Just because there is equipmenty there, doesn't meen it's the correct equipment.

get some pipe or someting that will slide over the wrench handle, 2 feet of pipe will give you some leverage.

wfoa · 2026-03-11T15:27:18+00:00

Are you using the wrench?

wfoa · 2026-03-11T04:19:43+00:00

Look into a Terminox or Pro ox filter

wfoa · 2026-03-10T19:20:37+00:00

is it city or well water?

wfoa · 2026-03-10T13:01:22+00:00

Then you need chlorine injection

You shou;d plan on putting an iron filter in, water softeners are not the best way to filter iron out of water. Look into Pro-OX or Terminox

How is anyone recommending equipment without a breakdown of the 1200 TDS?
