Does anyone have any suggestions for a good whole house filtration system with very low head loss that has inlet/oulet size of 1.25" or larger? We also need the filters to be able to flow up to 40 gpm.
I ask because we have a well that occassionaly puts out "plugs" of red water that is also accompanied by small flakes of rust, etc. Normally our water is crystal clear but the other day I was flushing out a new 2" line that I connected to the system and a lot of red water came out. I suppose this happened due to the flushing to atmosphere likely created such a demand on the well that water was flushing down the casing more than normal and this water was churning up sediment along the casing and at the bottom of the well. At least this was the only scenario that made sense to me since we haven't had any issues for quite sometime.
Normally we do not have large (open to air) demands on this well.
