The water supply for Whitewater Springs is pumped up through limestone. This rock is very crumbly which results in quite a bit of debris in the water. Water softeners typically have a screen that filters out this debris to help keep the equipment from being damaged. There are many different types of water softeners, so it’s hard to show all the different configurations.
One thing that most softeners have is a valve that allows you to bypass the system. If you turn this valve to bypass it may improve your water pressure. If this is the case then the water softener filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. It’s also possible that the entire water softener may need to be replaced.
