Hello -I'm looking for recommendations on treatment for well water with high iron.
Well output: 9.5 gpm
Laboratory test results:
Hardness: 25 gpg
Iron: 7.4 mg/l
Manganese: .345 mg/l
PH: 7.5
Tannins: .5 mg/l
TDS: 373 mg/l
I am replacing a 1.5 cf greensand filter that never really worked well. It never took care of 100% of the iron and smell in the water. It's 8 years old now.
I already have a 2.5 cf softener I use after that which is still working well.
So far most of the recommendations I have gotten include chlorination followed by a retention tank then a 1.0 cf pro-ox/filox or 2.0cf katalox lite. Is one of these better than the other for these conditions?
Are there any other options I should be looking at. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You!
