Hello Everyone,
I have put in a chlorine injection system on my well. I also added a 2nd pressure tank to help with water pressure. Before there was just 1 pressure tank and the 5 micron sediment filter.
Within a week or two after changing the 5 micron filter, it seems to clog quickly perhaps from oxidized iron. I have measured the pressure drop with the shower running.
pg 1: 60 psi
pg 2: 24 psi
Perhaps moving the filter after the retention tank would prolong its life?
1. Is there a better location for the sediment filter?
Since I have a retention tank will most sediment settle to the bottom where it can be drained off every month? It is plumbed so that water enters the bottom and exits at the top.
2. Do I even need a sediment filter?
