The RO filter was/is for the high nitrates. But it still isn't removing all the nitrates. Albeit I'm testing the nitrates myself with a $10 aquarium nitrate test kit. I'm prepared to add a DI cartridge to the RO filter to completely remove the nitrates. In the near future I plan on having the well water tested again for coliform and nitrate. The well tested positive for coliform(89mg/l) on June 20 and the sellers did a chlorine shock and we had the well retested and and there was no detection of coliform bacteria. We plan on adding a UV filter either way for piece of mind. As it is, there is an old water softener in the basement that has been bypassed(we don't know for how long). I guess in the end it will just end up costing us an arm and a leg to have someone come out and suggest some treatment options. At this point I'm tired of worrying about the well water...ugghh.
