Followup on the previous question.

I am thinking of replacing the old standard tub with a whirlpool when
remodel the bathroom. *One of the contractor who estimated the entire
remodel would cost $12000 and about $2000 extra for whirlpool tub.

However, I am concerned about my well water. *The water is very hard
and the wall next to the bathtub usually turns orange in a few months
if not weeks. *And the pressure is very low.

How do I improve on the pressure and the quality of the water just
enough and how much would that cost me?

Thanks

Why didn't you ask the contractor? * *Low pressure could be anything
from the pressure switch setting which takes a turn of a screwdriver
to fix to old galvanized piping that needs to be replaced through the
whole house. *Fixing the hard water requires either a water softener
or a new well into an aquifer that doesn't have those problems. * *You
can find the price of water softeners online. *The labor obviously
depends on how difficult it is to install it where it needs to go,
local labor rates, permits, etc.

I am having one of the contractors back to discuss these potential
work. Thanks for the tip. Water pressure is important to me. Taking
showere these days has been very unstatisfying. But a new well seems
expensive... :-(
