I am in central North Carolina I had my well tested by the county and I am confused by the results. It failed for Iron at 19mg/l (yes one nine, 19) and manganese at 0.20mg/l
Ph is 7.2 and hardness is 61.
The county has declared it un drinkable but ok for everything else. Here is the confusing part. I have been reading that Iron should turn the water colors either immediately or after a period of time after coming out of the tap. My water stays clear. I do have some staining on fixtures, but it is minor.
The house has been vacant for many months, would lack of flow cause the iron levels to rise. Should I run the well for a few days and have it retested?
I don't want to drop $$$$$$$ into water that looks and tastes fine.
Thanks in advance
