Buying a house in Lakeland Florida, it has a well, need treatment. I know of Kinetico and the normal type with salt. Other options, or best option?
Find a Natures Miracle or Krystal Klear dealer in your area. They sell various types of water solutions for well water and city water.
Ira Boshnack of Environmental Water Treatment Services explains the equipment and functions of a top-of-the-line whole house water treatment ...
Avalable are:
* Particle filter
* Softener
* UV lamp
I think the UV lamp should come last, but which would be the proper in-line sequence for the particle filter and the softener?
And why?
are you sure you need all this have you had the water tested? Assuming you need all this the particle filter should be first to ensure that no matter gets into the softener head to stop it up. Just an FYI I am not sure what you are calling a particle filter but a whole house filter purchased anywhere for $35 will do the same hing and if the water has a funny taste or odor for $11 you can buy two taste and odor charcoal filter elements just a thought I see people all the time with thousands of dollars of equipment that is not needed
I am thinking of adding a hydrogen peroxide water treatment system to my Home.I found some info on them but my main concern is if it is safe for drinking?Is it safe to use bleach to toilets?Is it safe to use ammonia to wash floors? The system I am looking into installing is an injection system which injects 20% hydrogen into the water lines when the well kicks in.
Hydrogen peroxide is a well-known oxidizing biocide and oxidant that is effective in many water treatment applications and is environmentally benign.only water and oxygen are byproducts.
Helps prevent dryness caused by softened water: replenishes moisture to hair.
Prevents oxidative damage caused by chlorine, chloramines or bromine in water.
Completely safe for all hair types and for processed hair, both color and perms.
I have a science assignment. It asked that how does our used water, such as the water we flush or from our washing machine, get back to the treatment plants?
Typically wastewater from your house will enter a gravity flow collector sewer and procede to a larger gravity main. Where conditions do not allow for gravity flow, waste water collects at lift stations. At the lift station, the wastewater is pumped mechanically either to the treatment plant, or to a point where gravity flow can resume. You may find this site to be of use:

Bosch told me not to use vinegar to descale and suggested a humidifier descaling solution. Not sure whether to use a humidifier water treatment solution or a humidifier bacteriostat solution?
Try to find humidifier water treatment solution.
Or, ask Bosch what kind of acid/water solution will work (such as sulferic). I use acid (very little) on my tea kettle every 6 to 12 months and it does a great job.

Filtering your water should be done in a manner that only effects your drinking water. The use of whole house water filter systems decreases your water pressure drastically and usually requires that the filter be changed as often as every week (expensive). The best way to filter is to install under sink type water filters or something similar. http://www.novatech-usa.com/Products/Stingray-Diaphragm-Pumps-Parts/SR-110
You either buy the pump above and find a plastic container that holds 10 or 15 gallons and make the system yourself or call a local well company to get the whole thing. If you have a few hand tools and just a little plumbing know how, it’s much cheaper to just buy the pump and tank seperate.
Green your water well back to clean!
The Alberta Government estimates 75% of water wells have microbial contamination . The good news is most of these wells can be corrected by Biostel water services. Biostel water services are CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) approved , non-toxic, environmentally friendly, no negative after-effects, non-caustic, safe, and the average service time is 2 - 4 hours. Our regular maintenance program will keep your well pure, fresh, and SAFE, year after year.
Concern for our environment and our health has us all thinking green but we should also be thinking clean. Our water supply is our most precious resources, and used by all living organisms to sustain life. It is constantly put in jeopardy! We take this precious commodity for granted and, too often, it can lead to dire consequences. Many researchers feel the chemicals added to make water safe are actually contributing to our health problems.
