I received my water test results:
calcium 30.8 mg/l
iron 0.16 mg/l
magnesium 7.9 mg/l
total hardness 109 mg/l
TDS 180 mg/l
ph 7.45
lead .00195 mg/l
copper .0395 mg/l
turbidity 0.60 NTU
IRB 2000 CFU/Ml
e coli & coliform ND
Nitrate as N ND
I am wondering what way i should go. I am having problems with red/brown staining in the toilets and shower, slimy deposits in the dog water dishes/humidifier. My water is clear coming out of the pressure tank so i am thinking the iron issue is coming from IRB and ferrous iron. Also it looks like I have high levels of magnesium??
I currently have a:
vortech terminox filter 10'' x 54''(i believe 1.5 cu ft media) with pentair 263/740F autotrol valve
sediment filter after this (need to replace every couple of month. filter is brown and metal flakes in cartridge, probably well casing material?)
It has been installed for the last 5 years and it hasnt fixed our problems.
I am thinking of going with a baffled chlorination contact tank to control the IRB and oxidized the iron and magnesium? After that i am unsure of which way to go.
I can get a GPM of the well pump if needed.
thank you
