    Shallow Well- 300ft From House?

    I have a shallow well being fed from a spring. We had the water tested and it is clean (just hard). We want to use this source of water as an alternative to the sulfur well that is currently running to the house. The well is approximately 6 feet deep and has a quick recovery rate. I pulled (10)...

    Centaur Catalytic Carbon Question???

    Had some problems with a peroxide injection system / catalytic carbon filtration system for a well with high sulfur content. I replaced the carbon media and it ran about 2 days before the smell returned. Found out late tonight, peroxide was not being injected into the static mixer. Got it fixed...

    20+ PPM Sulfur - Suggestions?

    Even with it going through our peroxide / carbon filtration system you wouldnt recommend the spring? We wasnt planning on using it for cooking or drinking (or the well either for that matter).

Im starting to wonder if it needs more time? I had a bad experience with chlorine pellets.. (opened...

    Pump Question

    Some of you may have read my post about the sulfur situation. I bought a LaMotte sulfur test kit and it is between 18 - 20ppm at the well and 5ppm at the faucet after going through peroxide and carbon. My wife and I have about decided to go a separate route, because we're afraid the high sulfur...

    SULFUR - After hydrogen peroxide system installed - HELP!

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I gave the specs of the well (GPM & water test readings) to the filtration company, and he matched up this system to our needs. I did research air injection, but was convinced by the filtration company, that this peroxide injection system, followed by the catalyst...

    SULFUR - After hydrogen peroxide system installed - HELP!

    Just found this forum and hoping some of you experts can help me. The basics: Bought a mobile home in July 2011, no city water available, so we had well drilled. Immediately, we had very strong sulfur content 10+ ppm. The well driller installed a pressure tank and we ran a hose out of it and...
