    Issues with upflow uranium/water softener system

    Sorry all, it has been the busiest year of my life and finding time to post regularly here is difficult to say the least. I know many of the regulars here know me well, but this has been kept very quiet for over 2 years while we finalize it...

    Arsenic Removal

    This would have been an ideal application for a combo system, anion/cation with arsenic selective anion resin... Other reduction methods are available but since you already have the need for a softener this would have been a good choice.

    No water after softener install

    Triple check the flow direction, run the system through a couple of complete regenerations. What system do you have?

    Need help deciding on right component for the system

    Lots to unpack but in general, municipal water with iron... the iron will typically be in the ferric state (solids) so simple physical filtration is usually adequate. Shoot me an email and I can go into greater detail... Blending certain medias can be an acceptable solution so long as the media...

    We need to see a real, up to date complete water report in order to be able to even begin to guide you on a proper treatment method. Obviously, the softener is inadequate and improper since you are getting iron bleed by...

    2510SXT Katalox Filter AIO - Air Intake Weak/Not Working

    AIO and bacteria is a bad combo and should never be mixed... AIO3 is barely acceptable and can reduce problems but chlorine injection or ozone injection is recommended at minimum with some contact time.

    High iron (12ppm) and high Manganese (.44ppm)and slightly acidic water (6.5)

    Raising the pH through soda ash injection is very simple, send me an email and I will send you over instructions on how to do it. Removing iron with low pH outside of a traditional ion exchange can be difficult. I would also recommend H2o2 over chlorine assuming you have no bacterial issues...

    GE Genesis Premier Softener- Hard Water

    Personally most would consider that a disposable softener not worth repairing. You could start throwing parts at it and it may be something simple but i do not know of any technicians that would even touch that unit.

    First time living on well water. Some help/advice needed.

    Without a proper test, no real answers can be given. Get a test like the linked NTL test, I prefer the well standard. I review these tests many times a day and this company has been fairly good for many years. NTLWATERTEST As to an iron reduction system, this depends highly on many factors that...

    Questions/help with water softener recommendations Clack CS vs Matrix

    Your assumption is correct. Either should work great for you.

    Do I need more than a softener? Any "do it all" system out there?

    This water is pretty lousy and proper treatment needs to be taken seriously. In my opinion, you should talk to a true pro, not a well driller who also does water treatment on the side. He should have discussed whole house RO. Radon may be at 35 today but what will it be in a month or two...
