Hi all,
I'm looking into getting an iron filter for my home that has well water (Northern Illinois). Right now I have a iSpring WSP50ARJ Spin-Down Sediment Water Filter -> SoftPro Elite Water Softener (80k grain).
I've tested my well water twice (one in summer and one in winter).
Winter Well:
Iron: 14.6mg/L
Hardness: 479 mg/L
pH: 7.9
Winter Post-Softener:
Iron: 0.07mg/L
Hardness: <5 mg/ml
pH: 7.73
Summer Well:
Iron: 3.16 mg/L
Hardness: 468 mg/L
pH: 7.44
Summer Post-Softener:
Iron: 0.23mg/L
Hardness: 6 mg/L
pH: 7.5
I've gotten a quote for a Water Right Air Injection 10x54 BIRM filter that will go in place of the spin-down filter and will cost about 2k installed.
My questions:
1.) Is this a good option or should I consider something else?
2.) Is the iron filter's 5 gpm enough? I've measured my max consumption right now via my Moen Flo (if I have most of the large faucets on (tub, washing machine, second tub, and faucet), I'm pulling about 7.5gpm. My well does a max of 9 gpm. I’m leaning towards no but I can’t really find anything options that gives a good output that doesn’t require an even higher gpm for the backwash.
Thanks in advance to all!
