Water hardness is determined by the amount of dissolved calcium it contains. Water softeners do not remove dissolved iron, manganese, sulfur, and other minerals the water contains.
The water (private well) at my house has high calcium, iron and manganese. The manganese level is below safe levels but high enough there is a black slime that builds up on the toilet tank walls and needs to be cleaned off periodically.
The water at the cg we are seasonals at is a lot better than the water at my house. The anode is about 85% after 6 yrs. Good to go another 6yrs.
