Got the tests back on the new well we drilled. It's pretty hard, 14 gpg, but that was expected. The only thing that jumps out at me is the manganese level is really high. 0.432 mg/L. Way above the recommended .05 mg/L. Would a katalox light system be the best way to go? Or are there other options for that much manganese? I can't get the test results attached on here so I'll add a few that might be helpful. Thanks, Adam

KL is typically good for that level of manganese. Higher pH like yours helps. A softener afterwards would also be a good idea.
