So we just moved in to our new build. We're on a well. We have a 3hp pump at almost 600' deep. Softener loop is in the garage and is 1.25" ID Copper. There are 2 adults and 3 kids living full time in the house. 4.5 baths w/ aerobic septic.
When I run the well pump disconnected from the pressure tanks I'm getting 16gpm consistently.
Right now the biggest annoyance is the rotten egg smell. We get it in both hot and cold water. I had a water test done and these are the results:
Alkalinity, Total 283 mg/l
pH 7.7 pH
Bromide 0.50 mg/l
Chlorides 57.2 mg/l
Flouride 0.96mg/l
Nitrate – IC none detected
Phosphate none detected
Solids, Total Dissolved 381 mg/l
Sulfate (SO4) 61.5 mg/l
Aluminum 529 ug/l
Arsenic – ICP none detected
Barium 71.7 ug/l
Beryllium 0.3 ug/l
Boron 689 ug/l
Cadmium none detected
Calcium 41.4 mg/l
Chromium none detected
Cobalt none detected
Copper – ICP 20 ug/l
Iron 0.4 mg/l
Lead – ICP none detected
Lithium none detected
Magnesium 21.2 mg/l
Manganese 19.5 ug/l
Molybdenum none detected
Nickel none detected
Phosphorus, Total 597 ug/l
Potassium 14.5 mg/l
Selenium – ICP 23.0 ug/l
Silicon 8120 ug/l
Silver none detected
Sodium 70 mg/l
Strontium 7740 ug/l
Vanadium none detected
Zinc 8.5 ug/l
What was recommended to me is a hydrogen peroxide iron/sulfur system with a 20gpm single tank softener setup 48000 grain (optimal, 64,000 maximum) setting and a 5 micron prefilter. Does that setup sound about right? Is there anything anyone would recommend I change?
