I am here because I want to be sure I don't make a mistake that costs even more to fix. I just spent the last year building amy house and while I finished woodworking and trim and well was installed I noticed the toilets had a when the water was finished and connected and well guy said he had to test water so I do a little research and see what that was and buy a 10" whole house water filter cartridge setup that i figured would at least filter out that soluble iron and keep it from getting in the water lines while we wait for test results. Well here I am almost 6 months later with a well system that from what i can tell was never disinfected thoroughly my wife has called the office to come out see the problem but nothing in that time I had already started researching everything about my system because and sorry for the sob story but I wanted to give the situation I am in so I don't look like a moron and not prepared cause I really no choice I am going through savings unemployed tired cause I don't get much sleep researching nonstop finishing the house and dealing with stuff I paid others to do right I am frustrated that I have to keep spending money I am not able to replace because it wasn't done right to begin with.
Alright I will be doing a disinfection of the well and I figured while I am doing that I would plug the outlet nozzle spin the tank 180° and slide south so bottom inlet nozzle is the only water infeed and outfield. I am very interested in just removing that rust bucket that I am sure is part of the iron problem from just looking at the exterior weld quality and dents the nozzles and I doubt the roots have penetraion or fused sidewalls. I am interested in getting a csv but I'm limited in funds and I am not sure if I would have to remove anything that requires lifting the line out to be able to use the whole system can't afford to be sold something that may or may not work at this point. I even considered emailing the company cause the website says they're in Texas. And see if anyone mind doing a video call of how I plan to disinfect and change the lines. I ramble too much. Here are pictures of crude poorly drawn present setup and proposed and pictures of the system in shop.
I hope I did it correctly. And I appreciate yall for sticking with me if you made it this far.
Update:
I apologize I meant to ask if I plug the outlet and just use the one in front as the inlet with the tee that has a drain that it didn't have already another gauge to backup the one on AVC and would I need another pcv since there isn't one at tank? Also does anyone have a preferred way of testing the solution for total chlorine residual I don't want to just rely on smell. Also the water systems council has some literature they referenced from what I could see a well drilling company that use vinegar keep the pH at the level to not lose purity of chlorine. Is there any validity in that cause that was the only place I found that ever used and I am only guessing if it is its because it's used by professionals that are trained and not mentioned in a setting that ends up getting a homeowner in a situation that may hurt him or family. It does give cautions to not mix together above ground but contradicts that by having set up buckets ready to mix to flood the well to make artifical head to deep clean. I plan to do the 200 ppm but I am going to let that sit after circulating until I reach the 200 for a bit longer cause I have a pex manifold and from what their literature recommends is 200ppm for only 3 hours. Since the lines I can only assume were never flushed since I am certain he never disinfected I plan to let well sit for 8 before introducing the solution into the water lines manifold and water heater. I won't ramble about how my plumber did. I hope to have all that done in attic while the well sits. Will that damage the parts inside pump. One more thing will that cycle stop valve need anything changed from my current system if I were to just purchase the valve alone? Cause I may purchase that so it can be in place. Will it get damaged if it is in disenfection? The attachment are in post below.
