Hey Guys,
Just bought a lake house in northern WI. It is been in the family for many years and the water has always been poor. It has a LOT of iron in it. You can't even see through a glass of water after filling it(assuming Ferric Iron). My wife and I are doing a fairly major rehab including putting in a basement and it is time to finally get a decent water system in it.
Here is my tentative plan thus far:
Two of the cheap Omni filters with string filters to start out of the well tank. Next, a Springwell whole house well water filter system, finally a Fleck 5600SXT.
Any thoughts good or bad? I am sure I am going to get some responses asking for water test numbers. Is there any way to do a test for iron concentrations without spending a ton of money? I am seeing over $200. Seems high....
Finally, any thoughts on the Springwell whole house filter? I have the Fleck 5600SXT at home so I know that works well but I am open to other ideas on a whole house filter that would work to remove high concentrations of iron.
