Hello, I am back with more info and a few questions.
I had posted my intial results from a newly drilled well about a month ago. And I am still in the process of trying to figure out what is best for my situation.
Inital Results: Iron 1 ppm, Ph 6.8, Total Coliform 6 Colonies, Hardness 48 ppm
(I think the PH was skewed because the lab let the sample sit over the weekend before testing)
Since then I have shocked the well with bleach, and had another test ran
Results: Iron 0.82 ppm, Ph 7.5, Total Coliform 16 colonies, Harness 90 ppm
So my dilema is I must treat for coliform and iron. I like the idea of UV since it is chemical free, but from what I understand I must remove the Iron before the UV will be effective. But this is where the problem and questions comes in. Is it bad to have the untreated coliform in the water run through an Iron filter, or softener (for removing the iron) before the UV Filter? Or is my only option to use a chlorine injection system and forget about UV?
Thanks
