    Iron pre-filter for RO

    Bumping my original thread because the new one got derailed due to my misremember some advice from this one. Which one do you recommend? They have two adjustable ratio, four fixed and several smaller (cheaper) adjustables that appear to be just the guts to rebuild and or upgrade a fixed to an...

    Iron filter sizing

    Thanks. Went back to the old thread and he was just referring to where to inject the chlorine. I was remembering it as the whole filtration system.

    Iron filter sizing

    Was lead to believe it would work either way and that there were differing opinions on which is best. Only brought it up because of my idea of bypassing hose bibs which will require filters downstream.

    Iron filter sizing

    Pressure tank and pressure switch are together. Both inside rather than at the well, while this might not be normal it has worked for 23 years. Will keep them together if I move or replace the pressure tank. No extra space where it is currently located, plenty where I'm planing on putting the...

    Iron pre-filter for RO

    Hi, new here. On a drilled well and have suffered with clear water iron >5PPM plus iron bacteria for years. Simple filters are not effective and every time I have researched something that might work it was cost prohibitive. Was recently given a 5 stage with RO for just drinking water. Have...
