Thanks to all for help on my other question on pool pump/filter sizing. I was impressed with the expertise of this group. Here's a new question.
I moved into a home with a well approx 1 year ago. Ever since then all of our clothes start to develop holes. The more we wash them the worse they get. Presumably appears to be somehow linked to the water. Water was tested when we moved in and found acceptable. I checked it last week with pool pH kit and found 7.1.
Is there some other test I should do or some type of treatment I should try.
We do use a whole-house cartridge filter. About once a month I have to replace the filter or else we can start noticing a rusty color to the water. Filter housing has muddy reddish slime (clay?)
