The Satsuma water picture
Hardness from the Miocene-Pliocene aquifer is the complaint we treat here, and a softener is the direct answer. Iron shows up in the same aquifer; dedicated iron treatment is not something we install. Humid subtropical, inland enough that summer dewpoints are slightly milder than bay-side Mobile. Around Satsuma, the reference points are Highway 43, satsuma orange heritage and the I-65 access.
