About a year ago, my well ran dry and i had to have it drilled deeper. It's about 440' deep and case all the way. Well, now my water has some iron in it. I had it tested at a pool place, and here are the results:
Iron: 0.5ppm
Ph: 6.5
Hardness:6ppm
Free chlorine:0.16ppm
Total chlorine: 0.16
Combined Chlorine: 0ppm
Alkalinity: 20ppm
I've been told several different things. One, i was told i needed a softner. My water isn't hard, so why do i need a softner. I have some staining with my appliances. I have a sediment filter on it. One of those wrapped yarn looking filters. It's about 10" long and about 3-4" across. It keeps the water clear, but only lasts about 2.5 weeks, and it become blanked over with orangy mud. I was told i needed a neutralizer to raise my ph and that it would take care of iron up to 3ppm. Recomendations please.
