I have been reading the posts on this forum for the last couple of months and want to say that there is a lot of great information here, thanks.
Now for my question, I have a 260' deep well about 20 years old and for the last year or so I have been getting pieces of rust about 1/8th" and smaller that plug up the toilet fill valves and aerators on the faucets, which is a big pain in the butt since they have to be cleaned nearly every day (a chore my wife is getting very frustrated with). I get about one tablespoon of rust in the tub after running the cold water for one minute. I have been thinking about installing some kind of inline screen filter but am not sure what type or brand might work best. Since my tank is in a crawlspace I want to bring it up through the floor into my utility room for ease of cleaning. Any ideas?
Also should I drain and clean out the pressure tank?
Thanks,
Steve
