Hello, I am curious to know if adding Iron Out to a water softener is toxic for drinking? Also what are the long-term effects on the softener itself from doing this?
We do not drink the soft water directly, we run it through a reverse osmosis filter, but our pets like to drink straight from the faucets. We have noticed an orange tint that builds up over time on various things that use the water (dishwasher, sinks, etc). From reading these groups it would appear that using Iron Out may help. I have read and been told it can be added to the softener, but I wanted to see how safe this is first.
Thanks for all feedback on this issue!
