Hello!
Just moved into a 20 yo house that has an open loop geothermal hvac system. During the well inspection they noted excellent water flow 40gpm, but with quite a bit of sediment and low ph. The sediment is not sand like, but larger. After running the bath there is quite a bit of grit. There is currently no filtration or treatment system. There are Rusco spin down filters before each heat pump, but I am having to flush these several times a week, so installing additional for the house water doesn't really appeal. Some of the faucets are clogging with low pressure in some as well. Have been cleaning screens quite often as well. The company that did the well and water test recommended at least a 1" cartidge filter and acid neutralizer. I'm thinking the cartridge filter will need constant replacement and found the Lakos ILB and sandmaster through a search. Would that be something that should be considered, or is it only effective for sand? I see they have an automatic flush system as well, but where exactly would I flush that too? Would they be best installed before the pressure tank? I wouldn't want to flush to the septic or sump, as I would think that will just cause issues with both. I'm needing something that would be relatively maintenance free, but am confused as to what would be the best solution for a DIY. Ay thoughts, links, resources, etc. are much appreciated!
Well is 80'
Liner is 50'
Casing is 40'
Pump set 60'
