Alpha water systems INC. had this in their faq..Aside from their
obvious advertising maybe there's info You can adapt to Your
system..Maybe You can combine types of resin or use more than one
softener in series..I would think Your softeners' Manufacturer could
tell You what is safe..

"Will a softener remove iron/red stains?"
In many cases it will! It depends upon the levels of Iron present. We
manufacture Iron units for heavy Iron problems. Please contact us for
correct Iron-Softener combinations for maximum life.973-293-7856
"Will a softener remove tannin?"
It can. By replacing the typical CATION media in the softener tank with
an ANION resin, it will remove tannin. Use Model FGA-60T.
"Will a softener remove nitrates?"
It can. By replacing the typical CATION media in the softener tank with
a special nitrate resin, it will remove nitrates. Use Model FGA-60N.
"Will a softener remove radium?"
It can. By replacing the typical CATION media in the softener tank with
a special radium resin, it will remove radium. Use Model FGA-120MJR.
