Hubby and I will be installing our above ground pool this weekend and need to know the best thing to do for our water supply.
We have very hard water... with rust and calcium. Never been tested, but know when our softner is running low on salt!!
If you leave water out for 24 hours it becomes orange with rust if it's not gone through the softner.
We do have a softener for the water in our home which made the water in my son's kiddie pool seem fine for the summer.
My question is this... should we run the water for the pool through the softner? Using rust out pellets or regular?
or....
Use an outside faucet that isn't softened and treat the water another way?
I understand the best option is to find another water source, but I'm afraid it's out of our possibilities.
Thanks for your help!
