I’ve got a newly constructed 20 foot dug well. I’d like to think I built it right with two loads of washed, crushed rock around the bottom two tiles.
I’ve fully tested the water twice, a month between each test. I shocked it between testing which took care of the coliform and e-coli issue.
The attached spreadsheet shows the two tests side by side. The 3rd column is where the lab re-tested the second sample. I’d like to avoid a softener at all cost. My local plumbing guy advises it’s right on the edge of needing a softener, but recommends a sediment filter, dual big blues with UV, and an under sink RO. I get that he’s in the market to sell stuff, hence why I’d appreciate independent opinions! Thanks!
