I need advice. I had my well water tested and here is what I got :
PH : 8
Total hardness : 7
Iron : 0.4
I’m also having some sulfur odour in the shower only (hot water), nowhere else except for some occasional and almost unnoticeable occurrence in both hot and cold water in other faucets. But I’m worried to see this odor getting worst.
We are 4 people living in a 2 bathroom house (1 showers, 1 bath). My pump is rated at 12GPM and I get about 10 GPM at the pressure tank.
For this year I would like to spend around 1000$, I see two options :
Option 1
- Install a 1.5pounds water softener to get rid of hardness and iron ( which is staining overtime).
- Change the water heater anode for an aluminum one for the odor in hot water.
- Install a carbon filter (20†big blue) for the slight odor in cold water and hope for the best.
Option 2
-Install an air injector system (Terminator)with a mixing tank and iron filter for both Iron and sulfur.
-Install a water softener next year ( Since the air injector set-up is around 1000$).
Thank you for your help and sorry for my poor English skills (I’m French Canadian)
