That's why I'm trying to DIY also. I haven't come across a knowledgeable, honest local company yet. The experience you described mirrors mine 100%. They want to use what they sell and are not willing to go into specifics or back up their claims. Like I said before I don't blame them, NJ is an...

@gsmith22. Thank you for your insight. I will simply have to wait for the test results to come back for a decision on chemical treatment _hopefully by Monday or Tuesday_ In the mean time, while trying to research my options, I think a big part or the first part of my problem lies in the fact...

I already sent out the water test to NTL as instructed here. UPS delayed the shipment by one day due to bad weather but they will be able to use it for everything else except coliform bacteria etc. I figured I will wait for that instead for now. I will update this thread when I have the results

Sorry for the late reply gsmith22. I haven't had time to research more carefully yet. On another note I received the water test material and hope to ship it to the lab on Tuesday, I will update this thread when I get the preliminary results. I tried the Hach#5 hardness test kit and could not...
