Thanks leejosepho, Appreciate the response. Yes, I always do "read the can" but thanks for the suggestion and I do de-burr and use the cleaner...

Thanks Jerome2877, Good to know there's a quick curing PVC solvent cement when I need it. I'll see if my local supply house carries it. BTW,...

It isn't really a money back guarantee, but they gave me 30 days to try it out. How much Iron do you have? Hach has a variety of Iron test...

Thanks for your opinion valveman. I will be installing a new 81 gallon Well-x-trol with my plumber, in the next day or two. I've ordered the...

off topic question how are you able to quote just a portion of someones reply?

Yes, I printed that reply and was going to test for that info, but thought the outcome would be incorrect because of the current state of my system....

I did not realize that. I just thought that once it was oxidized it became filterable.

I'm sorry. All of this makes total sense. So, I see your point about the spin down filter being useless at this location. My last water test showed...

Deadhead? What does that mean? I'm getting overwhelmed, I really appreciate all your and others suggestions and ideas but unless someone talks me...

I thought of the water heater tank also, but they are not cheap anymore. The benefit of using one is that with some models you can add an additional...

I tapped in before the conditioning components. After the P tank. It is raw water filtered with a wound filter for each of 3 spigots (hose bib...

I'm considering doing the contact tank setup like Craig described. I've searched for galvanized tanks online and all I came up with was this one...

That would be great, I'd appreciate it.

Good to know. I have another tank just like it, not being used. Could I just install it in series and would this help? What if I added a control...

craigpump, I'm sorry I did not read this reply in its entirety earlier. This seems like a relatively simple solution to keep the iron from...

Thanks for bearing with me...I'll be back...having skipped b'fast and lunch to do this...it's now time to eat and digest both the food and all this...

"I don't know how many air injection systems you've worked on other than yours but I have worked on a few over the years. I don't like them but.." ...

Thanks for the suggestion, but... It's not an option. I can't afford it now 15K to 20K. And it would ruin my beautifully landscaped yard, no easy...

Gottcha, thanks for the explanation. But why can't my existing 8" x 48" tank be considered the contact tank? Can I reconfigure the tank I have to...

I assumed I needed more drawdown because of how my pump cycles when I am watering the lawn in the summer with an impulse sprinkler. It seems to work...

Hey craigpump, Thanks for your replies. Where are you located? I was wondering if you would give me your opinion? I have another thread...

Thanks Gary, It would be great if I could put the air injector after the pressure tank. That way I could use a bladder tank instead of a...

Thank you for all the info and suggestions. I just don't have the space for the Wellmate HP-18 (80 gallon) tank because of the component (AVC) on the...

Hey , thanks everyone for chiming in. Sorry to cause a controversy. Now I'm gonna have to use my sawzall to cut the tank and tee apart and then...

Thanks for the advice. I hope it's ok to copy and paste (below) from the other thread I have going here at the Water Softener Forum, it is titled...

LLigetfa, Thank you for following up. I thought it would help if I knew the PSI and GPM so that I knew how much the air injector was restricting...

Gottcha, and I assume it would cycle the well pump twice as much. I was just trying to figure out a way to make my system work better. I was told by...

Valveman, thanks for the quick response. Thank you for confirming the use of the isolation valve and drain valve to properly drain and test the...
