I have a 25 year old water treatment system hooked up to a Central Florida well. Some issues have come up - softener tank sprung a leak and is bypassed. The jet pump bearings have gone out and it is loud (and right outside a bedroom window), one of the aerator nozzles is stuck, and I'm just generally tired of cleaning it. :)

I've done a lot of DIY. I installed a new pressure tank, valve piston, etc. and I've done plenty of sprinkler and plumbing work.

At first I was just going to replace the softener with a new 48,000 grain 10 x 54" tank with a Fleck 5600 SXT metered valve and new brine tank. Then I thought maybe I should just go ahead and replace the aerator/pump/pressure tank with a filter to make less maintenance.

I found a company in Indiana ships what I think I need (local suppliers not looking to sell to the public). As well as the softener it would be same size tank, same metered head, and an air injection system to treat sulfur, iron, etc. I also want to add a simple sediment filter cartridge as I don't have one.

What do I need to look out for that might give me problems doing this myself? Are the sulfur block systems that are sold in Florida any different from out of state? I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious that the pros would know replacing this system, so I'm not stuck with a system that won't work as well or better than I have now.

Cheers!

Should I re-post this in the wells forum? I'm surprised no-one has any comments to make, even if it is just "yeah, sounds good." :)
