But for the pool, it's right out of the ground so it gobbles up sequestrant and muriatic acid. It's nice not paying for water, but our electric is stupid high here. Almost $400 last month.
My whole house is running on a softener, so when I fill the pool, that's what it gets. I'm hoping that doesn't screw my chemistry too much. I do know its removing iron, so that's nice. A certain portion of my anatomy clenches though whenever i turn on that hose to the pool though. I had "Boy, you're going to run the well dry!" drilled in me from the day I could turn a spigot. Im sure pumping water out of the ground to go in a hole in the ground has the old man spinning in his grave.
