Here is my setup from my well: 50 micron spin down filter - whole house 5 micron rust and sediment filter - water softener - charcoal taste and odor filter. 42 gig hardness and Ithink 3 ppm iron as it has been awhile since it was tested.
Just in the last two months the inside of the clear housings of the first two filters have become opaque with a reddish brown film that is difficult to remove. The rust and sediment filter gets really full of the reddish color within two weeks. The water coming into the house is slightly cloudy. The water in the house is crystal clear, tastes good and leaves very minor staining in tub. Toilet tank is stained on sides. No staining on white washes.
What would cause this sudden change and does the staining of the sediment filter and spin down filter impede their filtering ability? I really don’t want to change them every 2 weeks.
