Fail.

Softened water will actually damage the pool surface -- plaster.

Best I can tell.

An RO for 30,000 gallon pool? Please? Cost for a softener, add that up
real fast.


RO could produce some hefty water bills.

Thanks for the soft water tip. It never occurred to me. I'm going to get my
supply water tested tomorrow.

I don't know if the OP is following this but no one asked him how old the
sand is in his filter yet?
