Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me -- recently moved into an older home (built in 50s) that I'm renting. Was converted from a well to local water but owner never took out the softener. Well, within the past couple days something went bad with the softener, rusty salt started coming through faucets, and long-story short I used the bypass valve to eliminate the Softener. This fixed the rust-water problem, but created a couple concerning things:
1. EXTREMELY low water pressure (to the point of a drip) in the toilets, and in the cold water hookup to the washer. Before the cold water was definitely less pressurized, but this recent change has almost eliminated any water in these specific areas.
2. The hot water has an oddly sweet smell to it.
Any insight into why these two problems would arise would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks guys.
