I need to repaint a couple doors and porch columns (white). What do you recommend that isn't oil based? While you're here... what paint would you recommend for metal cellar doors?

The systems will be installed in a "closet" with the pressure tank. There are no floor drains nearby but the sump pit is about 15' away. There's also a bathroom directly overhead on the floor above. I searched here and the advice seems 50/50. It could be good or bad for the septic system, and...

I'm trying to decide which system to get for iron removal and came across this one. It uses an aluminosilicate-based media, and I didn't see anything about that type of system on here. Pros? Cons?
