    No, you need to test the water hardness to determine if you fix, replace, or install a softener. White water is most likely caused by an air injection system, most commonly used to treat iron in the water. It is perfectly OK if that’s the case. To test it, fill a glass with the white water and let it sit for a couple mins, you will see it start to clear up at the bottom first, then go completely clear eventually. If that’s what’s happening your system is working as it is suppose to and removing the iron by forcing it to oxidize with the air.
