Just got my Arsenic Speciation Water Test results. This has been a process, but trying to get it right.
Info:
4 Adult (1 or 2 might be moving out soonish)
1.5 bath house.
Water flow 10.2 gpm
Private well
South Louisiana
Red Flags:
Aresenic 0.051ppm
-Arsenate 0.033ppm
-Aresenite 0.019ppm
Iron 4.51ppm
Maganese 0.319ppm
Hardness 193ppm (0.8ppm after softener)
Filteratration:
Fleck 5600 for the softener
30ish year old Culligan AIO (need to replace, Thoughts? H2O2?)
US Water Systems 5 Stage RO (I added a remineralising filter to this) Drinking water @ kitchen
So, trying to figure our the best way of dealing with this. So here's what I've picked up from my research.
Oxidizing the arsenic 3 to arsenic 5 would allow the RO to filter the arsenic out of the drinking water, right?
Would changing the antique AIO iron filter to a H2O2 style oxidize the arsenic 3 as well?
I've read that some media will remove iron and arsenic, how well would that work in this set up?
thoughts or comments?
Thank you.
