Hello All,
I am getting ready to move into a home in a few weeks that I just had tested for inorganic. I am still working on getting a bacterial test done through the local Health Department. This house has nothing in terms of a pressure tank and/or filtering. I am currently in KY and the house is in NC, so any info I have I have been collaborating with an in-law down there to get. I will be heading down on the weekend of the forth and will hopefully be able to gather the actual flow rate from the well along with motor size etc.

I am looking for help on what equipment to get to filter/ soften the water. There are two bathrooms total, and a sink in the kitchen, all on the first floor of the house which is approx 50 to 60 ft from the well. I am looking for low maintenance equipment. Any Guidance and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

Well depth is 215 ft.
Level is around 150 when full.
Casings size 6â€
No pump info except it is submersible.
I was told GPM is 1 ( I am thinking this is in terms of well recovery rate.)
Inorganic Test results:
All measurements are in mg/L ; sample was taken at the well.
Arsenic .022
Barium <.1
Cadmium <.001
Calcium 140
Chloride 210
Chromium <.01
Copper <.05
Fluoride .37
Iron .99
Lead <.005
Magnesium 22
Manganese .94
PH 7.4
Selenium <.005
Silver <.05
Sodium .73
Sulfate 10.00
Total Alkalinity 296
Total Hardness 440
Zinc 1.10

I was contemplating going ahead and shocking the system while I am down there, but I will probably be re-doing all the plumbing anyway which leads me to waiting until then.
