I have a deep-well pump with a large whole-house filter and a water softener. I've noticed that when I replace the filter, the water is initially nice and clear. However at some point (I believe when the pump turns on, or maybe when the bladder is inflated?) a few gallons of very rusty water come out. This rust is trapped by the filter, but this is causing me to have to replace the filter every month or so.
Is there some setting or other method where I can have the well discharge the first few gallons outside of the plumbing system, or is there something that needs to be cleaned of rust in the well pump?
Thanks in advance.
