I posted this in the Water Softener Forum earlier, may have been the wrong location. After reading many post can someone tell me what type of test I should have run to determine if I have a bacteria problem. A year or so ago I did bleach my well out and the problem seemed to have gone away. It came back and then I replaced the anoddes in the water heaters and then rebleached everything. After this it got better and now its abck again. The problem I'm having is primilary with my upstairs, which I never go or use (teenager does). I Forgot to include the PH of 7.6 and hardness of 161 ppm. These test were done before installing the softener.
Thanks Again Ray
Can someone tell me the source of my rotten egg smell. I replaced the aluminum rods in both water heaters & I Still have that smell. I ocassionally get the smell downstairs (which is served by a different water heater) but upstairs its still real bad. I replaced the anode rods and the problem pretty much went away, but now its back. Had the water tested in 09 these are the results. Calcium 62.2 ppm, iron .25 ppm, magnesium 1.4 ppm, manganese .05 ppm, potassium .8 ppm, silica 34.76 ppm, sodium 2.9 ppm, all else was negliable. I installed a water softner just after this test and then replaced the anodes. Could gasses be traveling to the high point in the system which is upstairs? anyhelp would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ray
