Hey all I have moved into a new house from the city into the country, and as you guessed it I need water treatment. I'm a power plant operator by trade so most of these test were done by me. Even before the county did their testing I had planned on getting a 48k softener,1.5 cu ft birm filter, and a POU RO for the quick tap in the kitchen and the feed for the fridge. I planned on using the fleck 7000 control valve for my set-up, and reducing the outlets to 3/4 copper to match the potable water lines. The well pump is a red jacket 1/2 hp 230v model number 50CNSW1-9B, but I can't find a manual or even a pump curve online. did red jacket come up with a new numbering system? The well is approx 93 ft deep and a 60ft drop pipe installed. The incoming poly line is 1 inch that connects to a 1 inch header connected to the pressure switch, gauge, and well x trol 202 pressure tank ( I just replaced this) then up to the 3/4 copper line that runs to the outdoor taps. The potable water lines are further downstream to allow untreated water to still be used for service. I came up with about 22 gpm using the outdoor tap, and about 12 gpm using an upstairs laundry tub. This leads me to believe that where the equipment I should be capable of about 15 gpm. The water turns yellowish if sitting in a container after being filled, which is an iron presence. Also occasionally the water has a slight odor coming out of the tap.... mind you i dnt have hot water on yet this is just the cold tap. But after the water sits and yellows the smell is non-existent. I'm hoping I can stay with a choice of birm due to cost and backwash requirements. If I do choose to use birm and then realize that the smell wont go away could I just dump the birm and refill the tank with filox or terminox?
Im also interested in buying a CSV.... is this similar to the cla-val style of valve that I'm familiar with in my field?
btw Im not sure if this is pc but, ohio pure water is significantly cheaper than clean water or budget water. has anyone dealt with them before?
please critique and give criticism ..... thanks!!!!
