    Where was the post that someone helped me set up my control valve timers at? Everything got so diverted with testing and this and that....thanks for those that helped, but you still cannot deny there was some nonsensical, judgmental, bullshit going on in this thread. Hell, the very first reply...

    You are useless to me, thank for participating but you're free to go now. So I was told that the caustic soda and aluminum sulfate were injected into the water and left to sit in the retention tank long enough for the iron to fall out ...then the water was to pass through the carbon bed and...

    So the water guy just left.....i have very little iron, he found 12 for a water hardness, where mine showed around 8....and my ph was around 5 or so. He said i do not need the chemfeed system or retention tank anymore. He's going to replace the carbon bed with some sort of acid bed which will...

    Its leaving brown stuff...if you fill a large clear container with our water...its got a very noticeable brown tinge. I seriously do not think its iron...its just dirt, we have a shallow bored well.

    They told me that the carbon bed needs to be dumped every 2-3 years and that I may be due...it'll be $200 to 'dump'. Sounds like a lot of money just to get rid of a smell.

    Do you think there could be an issue of the beads getting toxic or dangerous to us....the system has been off for a while now.....would turning it back on suddenly somehow introduce whatever crap was resting on those beads into our house?

    I'm assuming you mean savvy. Your comments are not helpful and totally unnecessary. Even though you have such a judgmental disposition, i don't feel i need to explain but will anyways....we were first time home buyers, i'm sure you have some idea of how overwhelming it can be to be...

    I'm looking for help on turning my water softener back on. I intend on bypassing the other equipment until I can afford a full water test like you recommend.

    So I got my test kits in the mail today, for hardness and iron. And as I suspected I have no iron in my water....we had our water tested at a pool store, and they said we had no iron. We filled our pool with our well water and when we added the chlorine we didn't get any discoloration as you...

    To get all the tests done locally through the county it would r un around $475. When I searched terrylove.com forums for well water testing......this thread came up lol Maybe someone reading this can chime in and suggest a more affordable yet reliable source for testing my well water.
