Does this make sense?
My raw well water is crystal clear.
It has 7.7 ppm Iron (but I think that varies a lot with well use)
If we let the well sit (it's a vacation home) I will measure like 0.3 PPM
if we take showers and do a wash it might hit 5 PPM.
If I add a 1 Micron Sediment filter it will be like 0.1-0.3 ppm (even after heavy usage).
I can see the Iron collect fast on the 1 Micron Filter, it will be solid orange in a couple days.
I thought this meant the Iron was undissolved.
But talking with a Iron Filter vender he said if it's raw water with undissolved Iron it should look orange.
So if it's dissolved Iron why does the 1 Micron filter take out so much? And if it's undissolved why don't I see it in the raw well water.
