Just built a home in Upstate NY. New well at 144 feet. Very hard water with iron. No sulfer smells.
Pumping rate of pump: 13.25 gpm (draw down/cycle time*60)
House: 1 bathroom (hope to install a second bath in a few years)
People: 2
I have received the lab report from my water testing.
I need advice on water softener/filter system.
