Hi guys, I live out in the boonies and am on well water. Lately I have been noticing an orange slime on the toilet bowls and a smell in the water. My system is a big blue 20" filter upstream from a 10x54 Katalox tank and then into a 10x54 softener. I originally thought the problem was the...

I know the normal settings for an AIO iron filter are usually backwash then air draw. If I’m backwashing with untreated water, how does the bottom of the media/gravel and the riser tube and valve get flushed with treated water if there is no rinse cycle? Would a rinse cycle after help to insure...

Hello! First time here but this forums seems like a great source of information.:cool: I am moving soon to a new house and here is the water test results Alkalinity 180 mg/L Hardness total 200mg/L Iron 0.80mg/L , after membrane filter 0.20mg/L Manganese 0.047mg/L H2S present around 0.01mg/L PH...

When flushing well at pressure tank, water pumps crystal clear after 10-15 minutes (I've also flushed for 48+ hours), but within 24 hours, water will begin to look orange/ferrous again. We had water tested after a flush and the results for iron/sediment/hardness were all ideal. I also raised...

Hi all, i need some help. I have a newly build house and a new well. Water has 0.24ppm iron and also iron bacteria. I dont want to use a chlorine filter system for various reasons, thinking about ozone system. Would you think that will take care or the iron bacteria? Also need some help to get...

Hello everyone! I have a home I purchased this year that has had some opportunity in the work done on it by the previous owner. Florida block home built in the 60s that most of the cast iron drains have been replaced in but still a bit lingering around in places. The toilets in the hall bath...

I am looking for some assistance in finding an appropriate water softner to replace my current aging/failing unit (Whirlpool WHES40) that has been in the house prior to purchase ~15 years ago. A brief description of the system is well water pump with 1" line to a whole house filter. Then a...

Hi All, I'm new to the forums, so if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it or let me know! To start off, my home has/had an older chlorination system consisting of a pump, tank for the chlorine/water mix, 120 gal retention tank and a whole house carbon filter. The system was...

Hi all - I am new here and found this site through google, as I am not having much luck getting answers. I have a kinetico water softener system and we were having some pressure problems in outside hoses. I called the company that installed it, and the installers came out and said that the...

Currently using 20+ year old Culligan AIO filter for the iron removal (some sulfur, not sure on the amount just remember it being noted on some paperwork). It is past the end of it's life and I'm sure it'll die while I'm working out of town for 6+ weeks. Just like the pressure switch on the pump...

I have the problem of my sprinkler heads getting clogged up with a reddish/orange sediment that looks like sand. I’m assuming it’s iron/rust. My question is, I have a old pool filter on the side of my house. The exact model is the Hayward C900. Would that work for filtering the water going...

Hey all, thanks for such a cool forum, and extra thanks for taking a look at my question! I have got a well in the Cleveland Area in a house we just purchased. Some facts: * We have 4 little girls, and 6 of us total * The previous owner ran a well drilling company, and died about a decade...

I'm on well water with 24 GPG hardness + 2 GPG for .5PPM iron. We're a family of 5 averaging 400 gallons per day. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my math is coming out to roughly 73,000 grains. 26 GPG x 400 = 10,400 x 7 = 72,800 GPG. At 65% efficiency I would need a 112,000 GPG unit. I was...
