Here's kind of a funny one to ask a friend. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the idiot's house. A couple minutes later, say "Knock Knock". he says who's there? your reply...the chicken. :)

Ph =7.06 Alkalinity (mg/l) =34 Hardness (mg/l) = 152 Iron (mg/l) = 5.73 Magnesium (mg/l) = 7.15 Manganese (mg/l) = 0.23 Sulphate (mg/l) = 30.60 Had my water softner rebedded a year ago and my water is livable, just thinking it would be nice to get rid of the smell.

What type dittohead?

Ok thanks for the replies. I didn't think the Iron filter after the Softner would make much sense. Just to be clear also on the Green sand filter if I did go that route..that should also be before the Softner correct? I believe that's what you were saying Reach4 but wanted to be clear you...

/I had a new well drilled about a year or so ago and my iron is about 5, magnesuim is higher than desires. I had my softner guy here the other day and we were talking about the rotten smell I get and some staining still happening. We started talking of options I have to treat this, one being...

Thank you..i'll take a look at it

Yes i do have it in both. I have 2 new hot water tanks and I left the Anode rods in so i'm sure thats contributing. I mentioned the iron filter for this reason. The well I was on before had really bad iron (19ppm) and also smell, bad Ph. A company installed it and it cleared my water up very...

I just had my raw water tested and the results are the following. I currently have a 1.5 cft fine mesh resin tank but it's about 10 years old and isn't handling the water very well. I have a 1.5 bath house, 3 ppl living in the house and 2 horses (in barn :D ) for pets. We do have a corner...

Think i'd take the end off of it and go to other areas of the house and run some water to see if you can hear it passing by the pipe to make sure it was in fact some type of drain. Who knows what people do when building

What company do you sell for gdgraham?

In the past I had my kitchen and dishwasher drain plug that it would no longer drain (didn't give me much warning either) . I cut the very end off my drain pipe, inserted an air hose running from my air compressor and started blowing air through it...(make sure any sinks in this line have the...

So is the only way you are really suppose to be able to get parts is if you buy a new system from a authorized dealer, and have that dealer come to your house when something is wrong and he/she fixes it?

Thanks for the reply Gary. It is a private sale, seller says they bought it , never installed it. I'm waiting to hear back from them any details they know about it and what price they are asking for it, the add just says new never installed, 5ft high X 12 inches wide. So am I correct to say then...

Are they a good valve? I know of a system for sale privately thats brand new, never hooked up and i've been looking at getting into a newer unit from my Autotrol that's 20 years old. I am assuming this is the entry level clack valve? Any prices on what a new valve sells for approx ?

Not even going to open my mouth because it's asking for trouble if I do! lol. I plan on re-plumbing actually. Don't know if i'm kean on it but I bought pex pipe to redo the whole house about 6 months ago, just havent done it yet. Now that the staining is gone, if the copper wouldn't still be...

I built my house 17 years ago and ran all good grade copper for the plumbing. My well water was acidic (5 - 5.5 Ph ) and the last year or two I have noticed blue stain in my shower i'm assuming from the copper leaching from the acidic water. I drilled a new well last fall, have 7.2 Ph and the...

I would look for clogged lines going from your pressure tank to your iron filter, and especially the head of the iron unit. I had the same water conditions for years, I had an air injector , iron filter then softner. Pressure dropped dramatically, it was the lines from the pressure tank to the...

Gary, I wish you lived near me and was still doing this for a living! I would gladly pay someone like you to come in , install a machine and give me good water that stays good. I still after reading all this stuff find it confusing trying to figure out how I need to treat my water , and seems...

Does metered softners backwash as soon as they hit their max? as in the middle of the day when water is still being used?

I have heard of plumbers that have an auger type snake that can drill roots out of drains, may want to start phoning around your area asking, you may get lucky and save the mess of tearing up your driveway.
