We have low ph 5ish. We use a non backwashing system heres a link to the various systems.

Never had a problem with it. Just use calcite and it brings the water up to a ph in the low 7s. When I installed it I spoke with the distributor and he mentioned almost no one needs a backwashing system its just what was done in the past and water companies just continue to push them.

I know in my area your not allowed to dump any water outside your septic except your gutters.
