I moved into a house with an existing iron filter. Last owner thought it was a softener and used potassium chloride instead of potassium permanganate. The reservoir is a solid clump of Chloride, but my concern is for the resin bed. It does not seem to filter out the iron. Any way I can rectify?

OMG!!! Is there any way that you can get into a time machine, and go back to before you screwed up? Otherwise you must move to another house. Try to be more careful in the future, please.

Old farm house on a well needs an iron filter, if you fill a tub you can see some discolorment and it has an odor, i've been told it's safe to shower or bathe in but i'm still concerened because im pregnant and I have my 3 yr old here. Is it really safe for us? We don't drink it but it is used to wash dishes and laundry with....

It's a jet stream by Morphy Richards. How long do they last? Does it lose colour when needing to be replaced? I've had it for a year now. I think it's still working ok, but the iron itself can leak some water.

depending on how much it is used, they can last a year or two As long as it is working I would,not worry about it

I have changed the filter, used iron out, have filled the salt well in the water softner, i even had a new water heater installed last week, the smell is so foul i feel like i am taking a shower with dirty water?

Does it smell like sulfur - like when you light a match?

Animals have been know to fall into wells - usually just snakes and frogs.

Dump some clorine bleach into it (a quart or a bit more per 1000 gallons) and see if that helps.

Have you sent a sample for testing first?
Check with your county heath agency or agriculture department (if you are in an agricultural areas) and they will test it.
The health deparment can also condemn it - if it's bad enough.

There are also private labs that will test it.

The do-it-yourself kits usually test for about 8 common things.
They are OK, but expensive and may not test for what you have.

To take a sample, let the cold water run for about 3 minutes, and then fill a clean baggie or jar with around a cup of water.
Keep cold until you can take/send it in.
