Today the water filter guy is here, doing the annual maintenance service on our house system water filter.  I asked him about some issues we’ve been having with our water.  We have a black ring constantly around our toilet bowl, and green stains in our bathtubs and sinks.  Our humidifiers have a large buildup of salt that we need to clean off frequently.  We had hoped when we had the filter put in that these issued would disappear.

He told us that the black ring around the toilet bowls was probably bacterial from the toilet tank and told us to clean the toilet tank.  He said that we could switch from salt in our softener to potassium to reduce the salt buildup, and that he was going to “work” on the green stain issue.  He thinks it has something to do with the electrical system being grounded to our pipes.  I don’t know if the electrical system is grounded to our pipes or not; I thought that was standard procedure.  Anyway, he said he was going to check it out.  I hope we can get this fixed, these are issues with our water I’d rather not have!
