Hello,
I am building a new home and have recently had a well drilled. My water test results came back and I am being told I will need an iron filter and softener. My results are below
Hardness 18
Iron 2.94
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 2.14
Manganese .5
PH 7.5
There will be 4 people living in the house and I want to maintain a 12 GPM flow rate for a high flow shower. I have 1" copper that will feed the iron filter and softener. I also plan on installing a UV light (Viqua 410). I need some help with the softener and filter sizing and also wanted advice on the type of media to use Katalox or Birm for the iron filter and SST-60 or 10% crosslinked for the softener. I also was considering the Clack WS1EE or Fleck 5810 SXT controls. The house is on a septic system as well so I would like to install an efficient system. I have talked with several sales guys and they all say something completely different. I would appreciate any advice.
