Hello all, to provide a little background I have had a ton of issues with my new house and the well that came with it, first attempt pulled so much sand it needed to be repaired but company was out of business so someone else did it. That was a yr ago and still issues. 65' steel casing 160' deep well. I have a whole house RO and before the RO is a 5mic sediment prefilter. The inside of all of my piping is coated in a black sooty material, and my prefilter clogs up ever 5 days with a black sludgy material that is so thick I can write in it with my finger. Water destroyed my RO membrane in less then a year. Some companies are recommending a backwashing prefilter of various types while others are saying my well is shot and I need a new one. Any thoughts? Help is very appreciated!
Oh water tests out at about 3ppm iron before any equipment and my catalox? Filter after the RO when backwashed came out orange water for a long while .
