Hi, I am very new to the subject and I need some help here.
I have well water and the only problem I have is somewhat low PH ( about 6.2) and red/brown sediment which clogs my standard whole house filter (5micron) withing 2-3 weeks. The sediment looks like ferric iron but the water test shows no dissolved iron.
Before the filter, I have a calcite backwash neutralizer tank installed (54"x10"). I do not have room to install another tank to have two separate filters (neutralizer and sediment backwash filter).
So, my question is: can I add some additional filtering media to the tank below calcite to improve sediment filtering? Can calcite be combined with any other media on one tank?
I'd apprisiate your thoughts and suggestions! As I said, I am very new to the subject and your help is greatly appreciated.
