    It could be several reasons.
    Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
    Do you know how your water is softened? Ion exchange?
    Do you have any tap in the home or outside that bypasses this?
    Do you happen to have a RO filter for the drinking water on the tap?
    Did you rinse your gravel/decor really well before adding it to the tank?
