Need help in deciding how to treat my water.
Northern IL
Well - about 150'
6-7 people living in the house
2,400 sq ft plus full basement partially finished, full later
3 bathrooms, with a 4th in the basement once finished
SFR = 35 seconds for 5 gallon bucket
Water test results: Aquascience.net Free test. Results similar to other tests by lab.
PH 8.0
TDS 350 ppm
Hardness 136.8 ppm
Iron, Man, Cooper, etc.. ND
Sulfides *POS* not quite sure what that means?
I've had my water tested and Iron has been 1.5 ppm in other tests. My water is clear when poured.. after sitting a few hours, a hint of orange is seen. It seems to fluctuate thru-ought the year.
We also get rotten egg smell. Sometimes it's strong, sometimes barely noticeable. Actually, my water seems to fluctuate quite a bit between the seasons.
Our softener which came with the house can't handle our load and finally not really working. It's a Culligan 8" medalist.
We need a new softener. Plus I'd like to filter out the rotten egg smell and help with iron when it's more prevalent.
Aquascience which i've purchased items from in the past and had good results recommended this...
Fleck 12"x48" Oxygen Chamber System w/2510sxt

Fleck 48,000 grain softener w/2510sxt

I've also had another online retailer recommend softener with a KV 85 or something like that inside the softener, no pre filter besides my Big Blue which I already use.
What is your thoughts? What is your opinion of Aquascience?
Thank you!!
