I have a new well and house that I need to set up with a water treatment system. I had the water tested by a local pool company and by the county when the well was drilled. The results are below, I only listed the ones that were not zero or undetected.
I have 3 bathrooms used by 4 people. Well driller said well pump will provide 14 gpm, I am planning on a design max of 10 gpm. Main water manifold in the house is 1" copper feeding 1/2" and 3/4" pex to fixtures.
Pool Company results
TDS 200 ppm
pH <6.6
Tot. Alkalinity 98 ppm
Tot. Hardness 145 ppm
Iron 10 ppm
County results
Chloride 1.9 mg/L
Flouride <0.2 mg/L
Nitrate 0.5 mg/L
Sulfate 20.4 mg/L
I am installing this myself, probably purchase the system online through qualitywaterforless.com unless there are better options. From my reading, I need to adjust the pH before treating the iron. Then a softener for the hardness. Finally an undersink reverse osmosis system for the kitchen sink drinking faucet and the refrigerator ice maker.
Any suggestions will be helpful!
Thanks,
Larry
