I am looking for a second opinion on what a company recomends for taking care of my water.
I had my water tested at an independent lab and the lab at the company that provided me with this quote. The results are:
PH 5.8 and 5.9
TDS 570 ppm
Hardness 119.7 and 196 mg/l
Iron 16.0 and 12.0 mg/l
Maganese 5.86 mg/l
Sodium 60.5 mg/l
No Iron bacteria
All other levels were below normal.
This is what the company recomends:
1. A 20" high capacity 5 micron filter
2. 12x48 tank with 2.0 cu ft of "Multi Media" (this is a blend of Birm, Calcite, Filter Ag and Carbon) topped with a Fleck 7000 SXT control head. Also, this is an Oxygen Chamber System in which there is a air injector built into the control valve that keeps a pocket of pressurized air in the tank which will increase the capacity of the media in removing the iron and hydrogen sulfide (which I don't have).
3. 48,000 Grain water conditioner with a Fleck 5600 control head on a 10x54 tank. Flow rates up to 20 gpm. (How many cu ft of resin, I don't know, it doesn't say on the quote so I'll have to call.)
Does this look OK?
Can a "Multi Media" blend take care of the iron and Ph at the same time? Would I be better off with a seperate tank with Calcite and another with, say, Birm?
Is this oxygen tank technoligy reliable? Is this the best way of removing the iron.
Is a 48,000 grain softner large enough. The company didn't ask, but there are four people living in the house with 2.5 bath.
Thank you for your opinions!
