Construction Daily

Today I installed the water softener and iron filter, both Pelican units. The units came with a ton of extra adapters, PVC as well as copper. But of course nothing is easy and the PVC fittings they sent were for a different kind of PVC than the supply lines in our house, so I had to make a run down to Ferguson in Winchester to get the proper adapters and pipe. Anyway once that was all figured out it was a relatively simple task to get the units rolled into place (they are not light, especially after running them full of water to flush out the particle dust!) but once they were set it was just a matter of getting the PVC "jigsaw puzzle" figured out.

Took about four hours to get it all done, and the literature says the unit takes a few days to reach full operating strength. Hopefully this iron filter is all it's cracked up to be because every single one of our brand new fixtures already has rust stains. I've been able to scrub them out but it took three different brands of rust remover to get it done. Not something I want to do every month!
