Problems Experienced
Sulfur
Describe Problem I cut down some of the info list because for the most part I'm thinking most of it doesn't have much to do with my issue. So my well is running fine, with the exception of the sulfur smell we're getting. And thats tied to the UT-80 not holding water at this point. I've attached two pictures. The first being what i believe is the Micronizer which aerates the line, the second is the whole setup we have. The UT-80 is essentially acting as a holding tank to relieve the sulfur buildup and worked great previously.
Roughly a month ago, we started getting some sulfur smell, and I realized that the tank was not retaining water any longer. Well water is passing thru, and I'm not sure if its tied to the AVC or if its the Micronizer which recently started leaking. Does anyone have any experience with any of the wellmate products and a simple solution? I'm wondering if the micronizer has buildup or if its leaking is just a function of the tank not holding water.
The system in total is 13 years old at this point, and the house was in disrepair before we purchased it 3 years ago. Before going to purchase a new micronizer/AVC, i'd like to pinpoint what the issue is, and to see if those items are even something that i could repair/clean before throwing more money down the proverbial drain. Thanks in advance.
