    Hot Water smells

    Hello, I recently started having a smell occur anytime running the hot water. I understand that this could be due to the anode in the hot water heater causeing a reaction with SRB's in the water. However my question is about how the bacteria could be in the water? The well is a fairly new well...

    Coliform, Iron Treatement?

    Thanks for the advice. I plan on shocking the well again and re-testing. If that doesn't work guess I will be going with a chlorine injection system. Thanks Barret

    Coliform, Iron Treatement?

    The well is a new well never had any system on it. Right now I just have a pump, pipe to the surface and then a hose bib right on top of the output. I can turn the well on and off with a switch. Thanks again for the suggestions.

    Water Results, Filter Recommendations?

    It was measured through 1.25" ID, with no back pressure basically except through one 90 degree elbow. I don't have any equipment hooked up yet still trying to figure out the filter stuff before hooking pressure tank up.

    Water Results, Filter Recommendations?

    Thanks for the help. Is there anyway I could run a pyrolox or filox filter with my flow rates? And is there any advantage to those over greensand?

    Water Results, Filter Recommendations?

    The pump is a 12 gpm, but only when the static water level is very high. At my static water level the pump produces just under 10gpm. Are there any recommendations for an iron filter that I have enough gpm to back flush? Since the water is not hard I'd like to not use a softener if possible.

    I recently had a well drilled and am in need of some advice and recommendations. The well was drilled by a local driller, that is about the only one around here that is drilling. He just drills, dosen't set pumps or do any plumbing. So my dilemma is do I do it myself or hire it done. My...
