H2S, carbon and air input needed

[Mikey]

I use Hach for both total (http://www.hach.com/single-paramete...7639974545&secondPageNumber=1&pimContext=USen) and free (http://www.hach.com/single-paramete...7639974595&secondPageNumber=1&pimContext=USen) chlorine. Pricey but I trust them.

Those are excellent kits but for those who cant see color... I use the Sensafe exact micro 7+. It is one of the easiest and most accurate chlorine testers I have found for the price. It is very expensive, and probably completely overkill for a homeowner, but for the service technicians, I highly recommend it.

Are you going to relocate the carbon filter ahead of the softener?

 

[MagKarl]

Yes I'll reorder the tanks. The order will be pressure tank, particulate filter, chlorine injection, retention, carbon, softener.

That's a lot of tanks. We city dwellers have it easy, water arrives chlorinated and without iron. Hope it de-swamps the water to your satisfaction!

What kind of chlorine levels should I be targeting? I finally got my system up and running this weekend and appears to be working great. My carbon was salvageable after sanitizing it's removing the chlorine fine. I finally got my chlorine test kit and I'm seeing about 1.4ppm total and 0.25ppm free chlorine. I'm interpreting the free number as being just barely enough. Do I want a higher number so that I have some margin against changing water conditions?
