Hi, it would be great to get some expert opinion. I have a 180 foot 8 inch casing well with a Gould submersible pump. I recently installed my water filter and softener and have some issues. The first filter after the pressure tank is a 1.5 CF multimedia filter and water softener using KCL...

When my pressure tank hits 60 psi, my pump shuts off. When the pressure drops down to 40 psi, as expected the pump kicks back on. I assume that there is a Pressure switch somewhere that does this. During the summer I am concerned about the well yield decreasing or else a sprinkler...

PS, I heard from the guy who is providing my media via Resintech that my 11 mg/l of Nitrate should be reduced to <1 mg/l, and my Arsenic should go from .006 mg/l (6 mcg/l) down to <.002 mg/l (<2 mcg/l) I am happy with those numbers, but I will have to test it again at a couple points during the...

Dittohead, Tom and Gary: Thank you so much for all of your insights. The nitrate filter is a disposable ion exchange that Aquasana will send me for an additional $700. The initial Sandmaster by Lakos filter is just to have a nonobstructing sediment filter that cleans up the water...
