Our new tenants recently changed the filter, didn't help. The problem tap is in an upstairs master bath. They say this is the only faucet in the whole house with this problem. We lived in the house 4 yrs, never had any problems w/water. It's a sandpoint well. House is in interior Alaska, built in 1999.

I had the same problem and got a whole house filter, but still had some smell. The man came back out and removed the safety tube in the hot water tank, -- rod that goes down the middle of tank--not sure that's what you should do, but it cleared it.

If I buy a water softener that has a built in whole house water filter, do I need to remove the filter on my water dispenser on my refridgerator so that my water isn't 'too' filtered? Someone told me that and I find that hard to believe, so I'm coming to the experts for advice. Thanks!

We have well water and were looking into getting the Waterboss 700; there are 2 people in my household.

No, you can't have too much filtration the way you're doing it. The filter in the fridge will just last longer.

I'm looking for a water filtration solution that works as well as water distilliation -- a single unit or multiple units that remove *EVERYTHING* from the water.

I have inquired Polar Bear distillers about whether their systems could be used on a whole house and they told me that they could not -- is this true? Couldn't multiple distillers, or distillers linked to larger storage tanks be used together?

What are some of the products out there and how can these products be installed and/or linked together? Can you use a softener, a Reverse-Osmosis and a UV filter all at once, for instance? Are there systems that do all of this without having to "chain" them together?

Please do not let cost considerations inhibit replies -- I would like to know about systems in all price ranges. Thank you!

I put in a Rayne system to do just this. It can be used with a Reverse Osmosis and UV filter at the same time. They are expensive units, but mine came with a lifetime warranty. Glad it did, too, because my pressure regulator blew the tank and even though it was caused by something outside of the unit, they replaced it for free.

i'm on a well,so i buy bottled water,but i want to install a whole house water filter and water softener for health reasons.i'm worried about washing clothes and taking showers with the well water my affect my family in an unhealthy way.thanx

Well water is more difficult to purify than city water. I would not just go and listen to a water softener salesperson at say Sears to make a decision. I would call out a water expert and analyze the water for hard to remove substances commonly found in well water like iron, sulfur, nitrates and nitrites from fertilizers. Get their recommendations so if you do this you do it right. Once you remove the really bad stuff you may want to install a reverse osmosis system they work great. And the best place to buy one is on Ebay, they have the best systems and the best prices.

I have a water well. The well services my house and also a rental house next door. The water is very brown but if I put it in a vase after a day or two it clears and you can see the sediment on the bottom. This sediment is causing major plumbing problems: the toilets get full of silt and the works inside have to be replaced frequently, the screens on all of the water faucets and the shower have to be cleaned about one a week and we can only guess what is happening inside of the water heater.

What kind a water filter should I buy? I Googled it but there are so many different kinds and types that I'm really confused. I need a really big commercial kind to go on the well, that can make sure that clean water is going to both my house and to the rental house too.
The water is just light brown, a little murky looking with a slightly rust colored tone. It's not dark brown and it's not really gross. There is no noticeable smell. All of the sediment usually sinks to the bottom of a container in about 24 hours and leaves perfectly clear water with gritty, rusty stuff settled on the bottom.
I'm about 5 miles outside of San Antonio, Texas city limits.

I can't know where you are; but here in FL. "BROWN" well water is usually "bacterial iron" and often from a well sunk too deep. It isn't at all toxic; but certainly has unpleasant side effects; especially to plumbing.

I have two suggestions. One far more a bargain.

At the pump, in the visible plumbing you can install an Inline cartridge type filter, and depending on how much you spend, it can be Back Flushed/Drained...and/or removed to be Flushed or changed.

The other option; which I had to use was a Tank...like a water softener; that not only killed, but captured the bacterial iron. Obviously it was the more expensive option, but the only one available at the time. Either way they both need regular monitoring and maintenance.

From a Geological standpoint,,,Indulge me... This planet is in effect an IRON based planet. That occured probably 4 Billion years ago. It will remain a fact as long as we exist. Bacterial iron is similar to what happens during RUSTING, or what takes place on the TITANIC...Also an undeniable, ever/ongoing fact. As a species we have to deal with it.

In your case certainly you probably will have to have a capture/filter tank system installed. In my case I also added a water softener system; though it wasn't required to filter out the BROWN. Still in the context of any you choose; some regular monitoring, flushing; and replacement might be an issue.

I'm a bit curious as to how deep your well is; it's storage tank capacity; the delivery system to HOW MANY rental units on the same well; etc.

BTW, and aside. I had a second well sunk; initially; strictly for irrigation. At 45 ft. the Point struck limerock, and water; and that water was clean/clear/ and drinkable right out of the ground.

Add on: OOPs Ok I re-read and see 1 rental unit.
