One example is well waters that are naturally acidic, and at the same time, have iron present. A lot of iron filtration systems cannot take away iron if the water is acidic, and so to begin, the water has to be treated to counteract the acidity in the water.</p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Knowing which parameters to analyze is important. When the well is located near gasoline stations, industrial sites, or close to an agricultural area where many chemical substances are being used, the water should be analyzed annually for various chemical contaminants to make sure the water remains safe secure.</p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Suppose septic tanks or livestock in the region, such as cattle or horses, a <a data-wahfont="16" href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/bacteria-test-kits.html" rel="noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3372aa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">bacteria test</a> is recommended.

Understanding How Well Water Pumping Systems Work</h2><h2 data-wahfont="30" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2a527a; font-size: 1.875rem; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Most wells pump water from the earth automatically by using a submersible pump. If the well is shallow, they may use a jet pump located on top of the ground level and draws water from the well to create water pressure for the household.</p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Some well water treatment systems have a large holding tank to hold the actual water before being pumped again to the household. Many other well water filtration systems are gravity fed and employ gravity to produce water pressure for the dwelling.</p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Understanding the basics of how the well water system performs is essential when selecting a water treatment system. The treatment method’s style could adversely affect the water pressure and the flow rate within the home.</p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">For example, when the well uses a pressure tank, a treatment system must be set up after the pressure tank, not before, to avoid causing damage to the well pump.</p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"> </p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><img alt="Well Water Treatment" class="alignnone wp-image-9950 size-full" data-id="9950" height="598" sizes="(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px" src="https://cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cws_wellpump.jpg" srcset="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cws_wellpump.jpg 610w, https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cws_wellpump-300x294.jpg 300w, https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cws_wellpump-400x392.jpg 400w, https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cws_wellpump-500x490.jpg 500w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" width="610" /></p></h2><h2 data-wahfont="30" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2a527a; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.875rem; font-weight: normal !important; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;">3. How Well Pump Flow Rate Affects Water Treatment Systems</h2><h2 data-wahfont="30" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2a527a; font-size: 1.875rem; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Water wells and well pumps come in different sizes and pump water at different rates. It’s easy to test a well pump to determine the actual flow rate delivered from the pump.</p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Knowing the flow rate will allow the appropriate size water treatment system to be paired with its preferred flow rate. Nearly all well water filtration systems are self-cleaning and need to have a specific minimum flow rate.</p><p data-wahfont="16" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">The common problem is to use a water treatment system that will require ten gals. Per minute, but the existing well pump can only produce 7 gallons a minute.

<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">Well Water Odor</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">If your well water smells like rotten eggs, you’re not alone. Well water odor is a common problem. Many homeowners on well water battle the stinky hydrogen sulfide.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Rotten egg hydrogen sulfide-laden water has an objectionable odor, but higher concentrations can be dangerous to health. It’s corrosive to plumbing fixtures and appliances because when hydrogen sulfide is formed and gets into your groundwater, you get sulfuric acid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">That makes the water tarnish fixtures and eat up the pipes. This unique rotten egg odor, hydrogen sulfide, is usually found in hot and cold water and can sometimes be worse in your water heater and hot water.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/shutterstock_1081032440.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img alt="Sludge treatment well in wastewater" class="wp-image-10540 alignright" data-id="10540" height="287" src="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/shutterstock_1081032440.jpg" width="383" /></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;">It can be a problem. It not only fouls and ruins water softeners and filter systems if not properly treated, but it’s corrosive to pipes and fixtures and just generally a nuisance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Historically, aeration has been a common way to get rid of smelly water. Chlorine, however, has some undesirable byproducts and can leave chlorine taste and odors if not properly set upright. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Also, if the pH of your water is over 7.5 to 8, in other words, if you have alkaline water, then you have to use a lot of chlorine to get it to kill the hydrogen sulfide rotten egg odor. We found, as a lot of other folks do, we found that hydrogen peroxide does a better job.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Aeration can work well, but if you have iron or sulfur bacteria present, sometimes the bacteria can still create odors after your aeration system. In other words, it can develop in your water heater and plumbing system. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Aeration systems can also be more expensive to set up at times compared to peroxide injection. Peroxide, if you have the right concentration, can kill these iron-sulfur laded bacteria.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">So the 4 reasons hydrogen peroxide works:</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">1. It works faster than chlorine, so often, no contact tank is required</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">2. Unlike chlorine, the peroxide will not leave a chemical residue or chemical by-products after it’s injected into the water.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">3. Peroxide works over a wider pH range</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">4. Does not affect taste; it often improves the taste compared to chlorination</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Over the last 10 years or so, hydrogen peroxide has become a preferred method of treatment for odor by many well water contractors and water treatment specialists all across the U.S. and Canada.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">Peroxide and Chlorine</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So you might ask: <em>Hey if peroxide is so great, would you ever use chlorination?</em> Well, yes, because chlorine has residual. If you have a chlorine residual, it works better to disinfect your water throughout a distribution system or plumbing system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">That’s why it’s used in communities and municipal systems because you want a chlorine residual to kill bacteria in the pipeline.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Chlorine is cheaper, too, as far as home systems go. Chlorine is less expensive; peroxide can be more expensive. Chlorine has a taste, but you can remove the chlorine taste by activated carbon.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/customer-well-water-825x510-1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img alt="Hydrogen Peroxide for Well Water Treatment" class="wp-image-10539 alignleft" data-id="10539" height="245" src="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/customer-well-water-825x510-1.jpg" width="396" /></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;">But generally, peroxide is kind of like the deluxe way to go. Usually, it’s better than chlorine when you have a smelly odor problem, and you’re trying to eliminate sulfur and iron-related bacteria in time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">If you have smelly water in your house, you can try to take two-quart jars or large glasses and fill them with your untreated well water. Then, add a teaspoon of household bleach in one and add a tablespoon of 3% store-bought hydrogen peroxide in the other one.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Shake them up and let them sit for a few hours, then smell the water.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">You can taste it if you want. It wouldn’t kill you. The one with bleach, you might smell chlorine, but anyway, you’ll find that depending on how much sulfur you have in your water, you might have to add more peroxide or more bleach. You’ll find that the one with peroxide smells and tastes much better than the chlorination one.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So for big home systems, peroxide is usually set up so that it’s automatically injected into the water before your pressure tank. Most folks will use a backwashing carbon filter after the pressure tank or at the house to filter out any residual peroxide and remove that odor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">With the carbon systems (there’s more information on this on the site), we use what we call <a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/search-results.html?Search=catalytic+activating+carbon" rel="noopener" target="_blank">catalytic activating carbon</a>. That works really well with peroxide because a catalytic reaction occurs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">If there is peroxide residual in the water along with the hydrogen sulfide, you get a very high level of oxidation occurring right on the carbon itself. After it flows to their home, the result is really clean, odor-free water.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So that’s a simple system. Well turns on, automatically injects peroxide into the pipe before the pressure tank, goes through the carbon filter, and then you have clean water free of odors.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">One thing that comes up a lot is contact tanks. In chlorination, we often use contact tanks, like a pressure tank where the water goes in, and you give it some time for the chlorine or peroxide to come in contact with water.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">The reaction takes place in this tank over a few minutes. Say if you have 1 or 10 parts per million of hydrogen sulfide and you are just using hydrogen peroxide, you can use hydrogen peroxide without a contact tank and just run it straight into the carbon filter, and the reaction takes place right at the carbon filter and you have clean water without odor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">However, there are some cases where you might want a contact tank. If you have iron or sulfur-laded bacteria, hydrogen peroxide doesn’t kill bacteria instantly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">You’ll need a few minutes for the peroxide, and you’ll need a little higher dose as well, over more than what the hydrosulfide is, to have any effect on the bacteria. That’s why we do often recommend a contact tank, but it’s optional. Some people use it; some people don't.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">Different Concentrations</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So one thing that comes up is: <em>What strength or concentration of hydrogen peroxide should I use? </em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">This <a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/search-results.html?Search=hydrogen+peroxide" rel="noopener" target="_blank">hydrogen peroxide</a> comes in many strengths. Store-bought is 3%. That’s generally safe. The type that we use is, and we can ship safely, and still considered relatively safe, is 7%.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Mainly because it’s safe to handle, it’s not hazardous. You can often find 35% commercial peroxide locally, and it is usually cheaper. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Much cheaper, by the way. However, many people still don’t do it because 35% can be very dangerous to work with.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">You have to be very careful. If you spill any, it’s a disaster. Don’t get any on the skin. It’d be a disaster to get it in your eyes. You have to be careful with it. But some people do use it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Especially if you have a commercial application like for your hog or poultry farms, sometimes it's high flow compared to a home, and it’s much more economical to use the 35%.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">But 7% works well. But you know, even 3%, of course, you have to be very careful with it. It’s something you want to keep out of the reach of children. You don’t want it soaking on your skin. Anyway, the concentration we recommend is 7%.</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-family: arial;">How to Set up Hydrogen Peroxide for Well Water</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">I’ll talk a little bit about where the peroxide system is installed. I put some links to the diagrams on the podcast show notes so you can see how it’s set up.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">The lowest-cost way, and how most folks do it, is you have a simple metering pump, and it’s wired and set to turn on whenever the well pump turns on.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Your well pump turns on at, say, 30 or 40 psi, and it turns off at 50 or 60 psi. That’s almost how folks have it. They have a single-speed well pump, and when it turns on, you have it set so that the metering pump turns on at the same time. When it turns on, injects a tiny bit of peroxide into the pipe right before the pressure tank.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">That way, that water right there is flowing at the same flow rate. So that way, you can easily control the residual that you’re injecting and put in enough peroxide to do the job. You don’t want to put in too much. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So you can easily regulate that and calculate that if you are putting it into a known stream of water. So the injection point is actually an injection check valve.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">The metering pump is pumping in the peroxide through the injection check valve. But when the system builds up the pressure and shuts off, no water can come from your pipe into the peroxide pump and solution tank.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So some folks have a variable speed pump or sometimes called a constant pressure pump. These are pretty popular, so if your well pump is that type, you don’t have a traditional large pressure tank but a tiny pressure tank.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Basically, that type of flow system keeps your pressure in your house the same all the time.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">Proportional Feed Hydrogen Peroxide System</span></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/hydrogen-peroxide-well-water-systems.html#item=B5001160&tab=tab1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hydrogen Peroxide Well Water System" class="alignleft wp-image-10130" data-id="10130" height="232" src="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Screen-Shot-2020-12-12-at-10.58.12-AM-284x300.png" width="220" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">For that, you need a proportional feed hydrogen peroxide system which is also very simple, and in some ways, it’s easier to set up than the other type, which is the standard one that is cheaper. With the single speed, you have to do a little bit of wiring and wire it in the pressure switch, which should be the same voltage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Most folks have a submersible pump, 220 volts. You get the metering pump, and you have it wired into your pressure switch. It's pretty easy to do. You can also have an electrician do it if you don’t know how to do it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">However, that won’t work with a variable speed pump or a constant pressure type of system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So what do you do? Well, it is very simple, you set up a proportional feed system. All it is is a water meter that you install in the pipe. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">In this case, you could put it in the house. You don't have to have it at the well. Basically, what it is, it’s a flow meter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">When water flows through this water meter, it sends out a pulse and turns on your peroxide pump to pump more or less, depending on how fast the water is flowing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So if somebody is brushing their teeth, that might be a gallon a minute, and someone is taking a shower, might be 5-gallons, and all of a sudden the washing machine is coming on, and all that will affect the flow rate. Whatever the flow rate is, you’ll still have the exact amount of peroxide all the time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">In some ways, those systems are a little safer to use because, although pretty rare, of course, it does happen. You can have a situation where your well pump dies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So say your well pump is off, but you’re still getting voltage to it, and the peroxide system doesn’t know it, so the peroxide pump is just stuck on and pumps the entire solution tank right into the pipe.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">If nobody knows and they turn the well pump back on by accident and start to use the water, you get many peroxides. It’s not likely to happen, but there you go.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So having a proportional feed system can prevent that type of thing and is one more advantage. But those are more expensive, so people are more likely to get the standard one.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">Peroxide dissolves the iron.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">One question that comes up when discussing hydrogen peroxide for well water is: <em>How about iron removal? </em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Seems like many folks, a lot of sites, and my local water treatment guys talk about peroxide for iron removal. Well, usually, it does work well for iron too. Peroxide can definitely oxidize the iron.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Iron is often dissolved in the water and may look clear but tastes terrible like rust, and then when it gets exposed to air, or it gets hit with peroxide, it turns to rust.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">...but you still need to filter the dissolved iron</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So what you can do is use peroxide injection and have that be filtered out by an activated carbon filter or, better yet, an iron filter. That’s usually what we recommend.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">If you have high iron levels and use peroxide with carbon, you must have it set pretty carefully.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">It has to work just right for it to remove all the iron. And if anything ever happens to peroxide, say you forget to add the peroxide, you can add it, or maybe the peroxide you got is old, then you got iron water running through a carbon filter, and that does not work.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">It doesn’t take out much iron. It could flow right through it because you got dissolved iron in the water.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">What you need to filter the dissolved iron in your water</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">In our experience, it’s better to use what we have. We have Pro-OX, a manganese dioxide filter media, but there’s also Filox, Pyrolox, and other different available brands that work well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">We usually do recommend a contact tank with that. Basically, what you’re doing is you’re injecting the peroxide, you’ve got your contact tank where a lot of oxygen is being put in the water, and then the Pro-OX or the manganese dioxide works really well. </span></p>
<p><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Pro-OX Commercial Iron Filter System" class="wp-image-10541 alignright" data-id="10541" height="448" src="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/7500-Commercial-Flow-Sensor_172x500.jpg" width="154" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Then if something ever happens to the peroxide, the Pro-OX will still work. It just works better with some oxidation like peroxide, or chlorination but it’ll still work on its own, so it’ll give you a break if something ever happens to your system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">However, there are a lot of people that do use peroxide with carbon. It does work, so that’s another way to go. But we don’t really recommend it. If someone has really high iron and odor, and they want to use peroxide, then we recommend a 2-stage system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">The 2-stage filtration has Pro-Ox, and then the carbon filter. That will last for years, and you will have really great water - no peroxide residual in the water, and it’ll clean out all the odors and sediment and work really well.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">Will Peroxide kill coliform bacteria?</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Another question that we get a lot is, <em>Hey, what about hydrogen peroxide for e-coli?</em> <em>Or how about coliform?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">There’s a lot of controversy about this as some water treatment professionals say hydrogen peroxide works great for coliform.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Generally, though, I put a link to this because there are many references to this. Still, hydrogen peroxide itself is rarely used in drinking water or treatment as a stand-alone process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">In other words, hydrogen peroxide is a pretty weak biocide compared to chlorine or ozone. <a href="https://iaspub.epa.gov/tdb/pages/treatment/treatmentOverview.do?treatmentProcessId=-1234021623" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The EPA, for instance, doesn’t recognize hydrogen peroxide for drinking water treatment or as a disinfectant</a>. It can work, but you have to have a very high concentration of it, and it doesn’t last long.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">The fact that it doesn't last long is kind of an advantage for residential use. There’s not a chemical residual in it. There are advanced oxidation processes where we use hydrogen peroxide with UV light or inject hydrogen peroxide before ozone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">That produces very high levels of hydroxyl radicals which are really effective at killing bacteria. It also does remove pharmaceuticals or other weird organic compounds, but that usually is not necessary for most homes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">So if you know you got coliform and still want to use hydrogen peroxide, then after filtration, you want to have an ultraviolet sterilizer. At least, that’s my opinion. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">You don’t want to rely on hydrogen peroxide alone. In fact, generally, if you have e-coli or coliform (I talked about this in another episode), you want to find out what’s the source of it. Don’t just try to treat it. Find out what’s causing it, and then fix that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">If it’s impossible to fix, let’s say your well is next to a river, and it’s always going to be in the influence of surface water, then you need a very careful type of treatment system that will really deal with that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Okay, we don't recommend hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant, although we say it is effective for iron and sulfur-producing bacteria. If health is a factor, like with coliform, we recommend chlorine.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial;">Test to see if the peroxide works</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Another thing that comes up a lot is: <em>How can I adjust the peroxide? How do I know it’s working? </em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">These pumps come in different sizes that inject the peroxide, and it depends on how many gallons per minute you’re trying to treat. Here’s the basic overview: What you want to do is you want to inject enough peroxide to overcome the hydrosulfide and interact with any organic bacteria.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">When it does that, it’s gone because the peroxide gets used up. So you want to keep injecting enough, so you have a tiny residual, either after the contact tank or, in some cases, right after the carbon filter. You’d be looking at somewhere between .2 and .8 parts per million peroxide.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">You don’t want a high level of peroxide in your drinking water. So afterward, you have a very tiny amount, that's good, or you have none, that’s the best.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/shutterstock_445349674.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Water sample testing" class="wp-image-10542 alignleft" data-id="10542" height="351" src="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/shutterstock_445349674.jpg" width="468" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">If you have a contact tank and a hose bib between your contact tank and your carbon filter, you want enough residual before it goes to your carbon filter, say between 1 and 2 parts per million.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">If you don’t have a contact tank, you want enough residual to do the job, but you have very low residual or no residual afterward. Now that sounds kind of too general. There are ways you can actually figure it out with simple test kits.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">For example, if you test your water and you estimate you have 5 or 8 parts per million of hydrosulfide and say 1 per million of iron, then you can look at a table and figure out how much hydrogen peroxide to add.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Now I know I need 8 or 10 parts per million of hydrogen peroxide to do the job.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">And that’s kind of what you’re looking at. Usually, you inject somewhere between 2 and 10, maybe 15 if you have a high odor level, parts per million of hydrogen peroxide. You can then get a peroxide test strip or test kit, test it in your house or after your treatment system, and make sure you don’t get a high residual because you don’t want to drink water with hydrogen peroxide.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Alright, that about covers it. In this episode, we talked about how great peroxide is for well water odor, how to set up a basic system, when to use the contact tank, and how to test for the peroxide to make sure it’s working.</span></p>

We are often asked:</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">How much chlorine is needed to treat water?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">How much chlorine bleach do I put in my water tank?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Using the charts below you can find out how much Chlorine Bleach is needed to disinfect and purify specific quantities of water, for example, 1,000 gallons. On this page we will talk more about the chlorine to water ratio and how much chlorine to put in drinking water.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">If your tank is new, has been worked on recently, or you know it is contaminated, perform a “shock chlorination” with 50 to 100 parts per million (PPM) and let sit for 12 to 24 hours.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">After you add the chlorine, the chlorine levels will start to drop. Chlorine is used up and breaks down depending on the chlorine demand (your water’s chemistry and conditions) and the temperature of the water.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Test the chlorine residual after 24 hours and if the chlorine levels are 10 PPM or less, repeat the procedure. If you are storing water and want to keep a chlorine residual to be safe, use maintenance residual of 1 – 2 PPM.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></p><div class="wistia_responsive_padding" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 468.844px 0px 0px; position: relative;"><div class="wistia_responsive_wrapper" style="box-sizing: border-box; height: 468.844px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 833.5px;"><span class="wistia_embed wistia_async_ledy9x0a5y popover=true popoverAnimateThumbnail=true videoFoam=true wistia_embed_initialized" id="wistia-ledy9x0a5y-1" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: 468.844px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; width: 833.5px;"><div class="wistia_click_to_play" id="wistia_41.thumb_container" style="box-sizing: border-box; height: 468.844px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; width: 833.5px;"><div class="" id="wistia_70.thumbnail" style="box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; height: 468.844px; margin: 0px; outline: none; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative; width: 833.5px;" tabindex="0"><div id="wistia_86.big_play_button_background" style="background-color: rgba(30, 113, 231, 0.76); box-sizing: border-box; height: 81px; left: 353px; margin: 0px; mix-blend-mode: normal; padding: 0px; position: absolute; top: 194px; transition: all 80ms ease-out 0s; width: 127px; z-index: 1;"></div><div aria-label="Play" class="" id="wistia_86.big_play_button_graphic" role="button" style="background: url("data:image/png;base64,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") 0px 0px / 127px 81px no-repeat transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; height: 81px; left: 353px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: absolute; top: 194px; width: 127px; z-index: 1;" tabindex="0"></div><img alt="how-much-chlorine-to-add-to-tank-to-kill-bacteria" id="wistia_70.thumbnail_img" src="https://embedwistia-a.akamaihd.net/deliveries/39a62e4bb6e7c244b9bfe58b7af920b8.webp?image_crop_resized=960x540" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; float: none; height: 468.844px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; max-height: none; max-width: none; padding: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; vertical-align: middle; width: 833.5px;" /></div></div></span></div></div><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2a527a; font-size: 1.875rem; font-weight: 400 !important; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;">Two Methods: Shock Chlorination Or Chlorine Maintenance Residuals</h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Shock Chlorination</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Shock </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">chlorination </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">adds chlorine until the residual reaches 50 to 100 PPM.

Disinfecting potable water piping is important when new water plumbing is first put online or if repairs or services have been performed.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Shock chlorinating water lines is one of the most popular methods for sanitizing pipelines.

Bio-fouling — the development of an organic bacterial community, also commonly known as bio-film — is composed of microorganisms and their secretions. It is present in almost every water distribution system, and when uncontrolled, may present a threat to public health.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Biofilms are layers of bacteria that attach to the interior walls of water distribution pipes and one another — most heavily around corroded surfaces on pipes. The bacterial community traps nutrients, microbes, and waterborne pathogens to eventually form an almost impenetrable material. Almost immediately after attaching itself to pipeline walls, the organism begins building upon itself, adding layer upon layer, forming a plaque-like coating.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">The start of bio-film growth can begin when the pipeline or distribution system is new due to dirt, foreign material, piping construction materials, and bacteria from workers, and the environment introduced during the construction phase. Additional contamination can occur if the piping is serviced or repaired.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">It is extremely important that when a new pipeline or plumbing system is put in service or repaired, a thorough sanitizing and cleaning of the piping is done. We are often asked about disinfecting water lines with bleach when bacteria or algae have been found in the house water pipes.

This method is unreliable and does not introduce a consistent, evenly distributed chlorine residual of 50 to 200 ppm throughout the system. It allows diluted water with varying residual levels of chlorine to flush through the system. It can also create very high corrosive chlorine levels (over 500 ppm), which can damage fixtures and corrode copper and stainless steel.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2a527a; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.875rem; font-weight: 400 !important; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;">Shock Chlorination Procedure by High-Pressure Metering Pump Injection:</h2><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Professional water treatment specialists and distribution system operators typically use this chlorination method to disinfect pipes and chlorinate water lines. The procedure involves leaving the water system or pipeline under pressure and using high pressure, low-volume metering pump to inject a concentrated chlorine solution while the water is flowing at a given flow rate. After a chlorine residual of 50 to 100 ppm is detected at each faucet or fixture (using a <a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/chlorine-test-kits/chlorine-residual-high-range-test-kit-1-80-ppm.html" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3372aa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;">high-range chlorine test kit</a>), the chlorine solution is allowed to remain in the pipes for 12 to 24 hours.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/j-pro-22-metering-pumps/j-pro-22-dual-voltage-metering-pump-110-230v.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3372aa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft wp-image-2810" height="225" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" src="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JPRO-22-300x300.jpg" srcset="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JPRO-22-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JPRO-22-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JPRO-22-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JPRO-22-20x20.jpg 20w, https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JPRO-22.jpg 1000w" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; float: left; height: auto; margin: 7px 28px 28px 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 10px 10px 10px 0px; vertical-align: middle;" width="225" /></a></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">How to use the high-pressure metering pump injection method:</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">1. Shut off the mainline. Identify an outside hose bib or another opening in the incoming piping on the main valve's customer side.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">If a backflow prevention valve is present, these can be utilized, as there is typically a ¼” FPT port available. If no hose bib or opening exists, install a ¼” or ½” threaded opening into the mainline to use for injecting the chlorine solution.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">2. Hook up a metering pump to the line (in our example, a 24 gallon/day output metering pump is used), using an injection check valve so the water cannot back-feed into the metering pump. If the metering pump has a different output, adjust the speed of pump or solution strength. In this procedure, a concentrated chlorine residual will be injected while the pipes are under line pressure from the street or city-water system. A check valve is used on tubing leading to the piping to prevent the water from backing up into the metering pump.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">3. Make sure to use a metering pump to develop pressures higher than the line pressure you are injecting into.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">4. Determine flow rate. Open up the faucets hot and cold and read the water meter to determine gallons per minute.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">5. Use the formula and example below to adjust the metering pump:</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Example: Compute metering pump setting to achieve 100 ppm applied chlorine dosage in a water stream flowing at 5 gallons per minute, using full-strength household bleach:</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">5 GPM x 100 ppm x 1440 (minutes/day) = 13.7 gallons per day 52,500 (ppm of laundry bleach)</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">The output of the pump is 24 gallons per day.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">The example above calls for 13.7 gallons a day output. 13.7 gallons per day = .57 or 57%</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Set metering pump speed to 57%</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">6. Run the water in the building or at a valve or hose bib downstream until the bleach solution has filled all the pipes and a strong odor of chlorine is coming from the fixtures or faucets, both hot and cold. For best results, test the water at each fixture to verify that there is at least a 50 to 100 ppm chlorine residual, using a DPD method test kit.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">7. Allow the water to sit for 12 hours.

The slime, scale, and odor-producing bacteria will interact with the chlorine and reduce chlorine residual in the piping. If it uses up all the chlorine, or the chlorine residual is less than 10 ppm, then the procedure may need to be repeated.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">8. Flush the piping and fixtures well to flush out the scale from water from the piping. Unscrew aerators and fixtures to avoid these items becoming plugged with sediment that may have been loosened in the chlorination process.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Caution: If the shock-chlorination procedure is being done on an old pipeline or one that has accumulated scale or buildup, the procedure can loosen up the scale, iron deposits, and other materials in the piping. This buildup in the water pipes can clog fixtures, appliances, and valves in the piping system, causing many problems.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; hyphens: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;">Care should be taken when flushing the piping and all aerators removed to prevent clogging.

A well pump can pump water up to a certain maximum flow rate, in gallons per minute.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For example, say you could fill a 5 gallon bucket in 1 minute.

There are three methods commonly used:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">1. The well pump pressure switch;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">2. A flow switch; or</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">3. A proportional-feed flow meter.</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>1. By Well Pressure Switch:</b> In this type of installation, the metering pump is plugged into a dedicated electrical outlet that is wired into the pressure switch. When the pressure switch points close, the Stenner chlorine solution pump is turned on. Lowest cost.</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>2. Flow Switch:</b> An alternative to installing a dedicated outlet and wiring to the pressure switch is to use a pre-wired flow switch. The flow switch cord is plugged into any 120V wall outlet. The Stenner pump is plugged into the outlet that is built-in to the flow switch. Whenever there is flow, the Stenner pump is energized and starts to pump. Easy to wire, just plug in, turn on.</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>3. Proportional-Feed:</b> In some applications, the chlorine injection point must be after the pressure tank, such as when the pressure tank and well are away from the house and it's impractical to install the chlorine system at the well. In this case, a Proportional-Feed system can be used.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Based on how fast the water is flowing more or less chlorine is pumped into the water maintaining a precise residual. Also, a very easy chlorination system to install and allows installation anywhere after the well pressure tank. Or, for community chlorination systems where it is not practical to install the injection point, it can go before the well pressure tank.</span></p><h2><span style="font-family: arial;">Two Methods to Set up Contact Tanks:</span></h2><p><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">1. Water enters at bottom exits at the top</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This method is the most common and is useful for settling sand and sediment out in the contact tank. A simple ball valve at the bottom allows one to drain and flush the tank of accumulated iron and sediment.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><img alt="" class="alignleft wp-image-2769 size-full" height="380" src="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/b28.jpg" width="352" /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: arial;">2. Water enters in at the bottom, exits at the bottom.</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This method is useful when there is air or gasses in the water. Water travels up center tube and then back down through the water. Any gasses or air present accumulate at the top and are vented off by the air vent.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">• Best for applications where gasses are present in the well water<br />• Provides contact time<br />• Vents off gasses<br />• Air compressor (optional)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-2770 size-full" height="383" src="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/b29.jpg" width="348" /></span></p></div><div class="block-9"><h2><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></h2><h2><span style="font-family: arial;">How to Determine Chlorine Solution Strength and Metering Pump Size</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Step 1:</b> Determine flow rate of the water stream you are injecting into, in Gallons Per Minute (GPM) or Liters Per Minute (LPM).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Step 2:</b> Determine the parts per million of chlorine you are trying to achieve (PPM). This is the chlorine residual based on estimated chlorine demand.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Step 3:</b> Use the formula below to compute the gallons per day and select the pump.

Hello Sir,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We use well water on our farm and our water is hard. No rust or much sediment, just clean hard well water. Will a no salt water softener remove this hardness? I am sick of cleaning our shower glass doors but my husband doesn’t want a water softener that uses salt.</div>

Mary,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing. I lived on a farm with very hard well water, our water was 40 grains/gallon hard. My wife used to say you could stand a spoon up in the glass by itself, it was so hard. I know how you feel when the water is very hard, it makes cleaning a chore.</div>

Water Softeners for Well Water</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1. Water Softener:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Water softeners remove hardness scale (calcium carbonate) from water so fixtures are mostly spot-free, glasses sparkle, skin is soft, laundry is clean and bright. They do require salt to operate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/softener-salt-free.html#item=B5000970&tab=tab1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="591" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-byEjCuF4DYo/WlTp6hF8fII/AAAAAAAAApQ/YTswS6DYvwQqkRcA9sSLXM1nlnsjLHPhACLcBGAs/s320/scale-stopper-ss-bb-591.jpg" width="189" /></a></div>
<b>2. Salt-Free Conditioner:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A salt-free conditioner keeps hardness scale from building up in pipes, water heaters, appliances, and extend the life of your plumbing, fixtures, and appliances. Little or no routine maintenance is required and they don’t use salt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A salt-free conditioner will work fine for many hard water conditions but definitely are not for everyone and every hard water condition! </b>If you want spot-free shower doors, for example, it is best to use a salt type water softener, NOT a salt-free conditioner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have had a water softener and your water is greater than 10 – 12 grains per gallon, and you like soft water… you will likely not like a salt-free conditioner. If you see someone saying they have a “salt-free water softener”, it's technically incorrect. Softening removes the hardness ions, whereas no salt conditioners… do not.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For softeners, we recommend the type that can meter and count the number of gallons you use in the home, and only regenerate and backwash when it is absolutely necessary. This saves salt and water.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
To Salt or Not To Salt?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before you begin selecting a water softener, you should first ask yourself whether you want to use a regular ion exchange water softener, which uses salt and physically removes hardness, or a salt-free water conditioner which does not use salt, but also doesn’t remove hardness and works best to keep scale from building up in pipes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ceaa-6OegQQ/WlTqawk-_aI/AAAAAAAAApU/9xx3Ag8n9zsX1UIVRA-AqBhV6Qqvy3lwgCLcBGAs/s1600/softener-7000_illustration.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="346" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ceaa-6OegQQ/WlTqawk-_aI/AAAAAAAAApU/9xx3Ag8n9zsX1UIVRA-AqBhV6Qqvy3lwgCLcBGAs/s320/softener-7000_illustration.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
Normal water softeners use ion-exchange media to remove hardness. An ion-exchange resin inside the softener attracts calcium and magnesium from the water and replaces them with sodium ions from the exchange resin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During regeneration (the process by which the softener’s resin is cleaned and kept ready for use) saltwater is drawn from a brine tank into the softener to regenerate the sodium in the resin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These systems will remove calcium and magnesium, thereby eliminating scale and making fixtures spot-free, clothes cleaner and brighter, and skin softer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In comparison, salt-free water conditioners produce a catalytic reaction to convert calcium and magnesium in water to firm calcite crystals which are then carried away by the water flow once they reach a sufficient size (the nanometer range).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thus, saltless water conditioners do not physically remove water hardness, but change the dissolved calcium carbonate into a type of calcite crystal that cannot attach to pipes or appliances to create hardness deposits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Salt-free conditioners also require less maintenance than normal softeners because they don’t need to be back-washed or regenerated – this makes them cheaper due to decreased water and energy usage and eliminates the need to replace the brine solution, further increasing your savings over a normal water softener. <b>However, they can become fouled and ruined quickly if there are any iron, manganese, or sulfides in the water, so often they are not the best type for well water.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
How Do I Know Which Type to Use?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Test your water first. If you have high hardness over 12 – 15 grains per gallon, get a water softener.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you only care about protecting your appliances, plumbing, and fixtures and having improved scale control, cleaner shower doors and glasses (but not totally spot-free) consider a salt free conditioner, as they save having to buy salt and are very easy to install and operate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Here are more information on the 5900s Softener with Bluetooth:</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The system recommended is fully automatic and uses the reliable 5900e control valve for dependable filtration with minimal maintenance requirements along with being quite user-friendly in operation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can use the optional blue tooth and install our App will allow you to change and monitor the water softener over your phone or tablet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can also use an optional Spindown filter which would be installed upstream of the water softener which will protect against sand/sediment from entering the control valve and cause unwanted problems. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can also use this to pour some bleach into and shock the filter/house with Chlorine or Peroxide from time to time whichwill help with odor buildup as well as improving the filters cleanliness. This uses a mesh screen thus no filter cartridges that need constant servicing. Simply flush the valve for 10 – 20 seconds as needed and done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This equipment is sized for your home as reported in having 2 bathrooms. Based upon the hardness levels of 250 mg/L (15 Grains per Gallon) this will regenerate about every 2,000 gallons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following will show images, product links, as well as pricing on the equipment as recommended.</div>

Hello Gerry,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like reading your blog, learned a few things, thanks! Our problem is we have iron, and a low level but very obnoxious odor. We have a water softener, but I think it can’t keep up with the iron, and it doesn’t help with the odor at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I sent in my test results to you, what do you recommend for our somewhat stinky well water? Aeration?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey Phil,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for reading the blog and sending in your water test results. Upon review of this I’d recommend a Pro-Ox Air Charger with a Spindown Filter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Iron Filter uses air injection directly in the filter to oxidize the contaminants out, and then passes the water through a mixed bed of filtration media specifically designed to remove iron, manganese and odor from water. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is an automatic backwashing system that rinses out the media about once per week in order to keep the media clean as well as maintain a head of air for the oxidation purposes. This filter also doesn’t need to do a full backwash every night like every other air charger filter does. Instead to replenish the Air Pocket this unique valve skips over the backwash right to the suction section and then back to service once completed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The media inside the filter, Pro-OX has a much higher surface area, and is much more porous, and also lasts much longer (usually between 10 - 12 years) than other iron filter media such as greensand. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These filters are fully automatic and use the reliable 5900e control valve for dependable filtration with minimal maintenance requirements along with being quite user friendly in operation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An optional post Cartridge filter will polish the water and be able to monitor the systems overall performance. This can of course be implemented later if you prefer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Spindown filter would be installed upstream of the Iron filter so as to protect against sand/sediment from entering the control valve and causing unwanted problems. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can also use this to shock the filter/house with Chlorine or Peroxide from time to time as will help eliminate any iron bacteria in the pipes and iron filter. This uses a mesh screen thus no filter cartridges that need constant servicing. Simply flush the valve for 10 – 20 seconds as needed and done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following will show images, a brief description of each, system cost, warranty specifics, along with product links for more information. As you have purchased a test kit with us I’ll also extend a $25.00 discount toward the system purchase.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Unique Digital Control Valve allows the air pocket to be replenished each night, without having the iron filter go through a complete backwash. Other Air-Charger Iron Filters must go through a complete backwash each night, in order to replenish the air, wasting thousands of gallons of water each year.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
No potassium permanganate, or chemicals required, although unlike other iron filters. This system also works with chlorinated water, but is not required.</div>

Dear sir,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We recently moved to the country and are new to well water. We discovered that the toilet flush tank is stained blue, and if water drips from the faucet, we get blue stains. I realize that this is from our copper pipes and our water is acid. See attached lab test.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our question is, can we fix the acidity and still use a water softener? My wife likes soft water and we had that at our last house. If we use a softener after the crushed marble tank, will that make the water acid again?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello Bill,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a common problem and we have many customers in Maryland with acidic well water. Fortunately it is very easy to fix, by using a simple calcite neutralizer. As the water flow through the neutralizer the pH is raised to the neutral range of 7 – 7.5 and the blue stains should stop at that point.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This does make the water a bit higher in calcium hardness and many folks do use a water softener after tne neutralizer to soften the water. This does NOT make the water acid again though. In fact a water softener does make the water acidic and the pH will still be in the neutral range.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, we do recommend that if you use a softener, it be left on bypass for several weeks after the neutralizer has been installed, to speed up the elimination of the blue staining and stop the copper corrosion. Then, when the softener is put online, it should be partially bypassed so the hardness is in the range of 3 – 5 grains per gallon. 3 grains per gallon is still fairly soft. This will allow some calcium to deposit on the pipe interior and keep corrosion to a minimum. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Calcite filter using Calcium Carbonate (Calcite) and Magnesium Oxide (Corosex) will neutralize the pH from 6.5 units and help eliminate the corrosive effects of the water. Many customers with this type of water used to have blue-green stains from copper pipe corrosion and after installing the Neutralizer see their blue stains & copper levels disappear within a few weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Neutralizer filter comes with everything you need including the Calcite media and simple instructions. Any plumber or person familiar with basic plumbing can install them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Due to the fact that Neutralizers will raise the pH they also increase hardness levels as well, in this case more than likely by at least 4 - 5 grains. By implementing a Water Softener this would remove the hardness and stop water spots from occurring. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally an undersink Reverse Osmosis installed at the kitchen sink will provide bottled water quality water available at your fingertips without having to deal with water jugs, etc. An RO also removes the salts and zinc like we talked about.<br />
<br />
Here's the diagram of the softener:<br />

In this episode we will cover the simple steps you’re going to take to find out the flow rate of your well pump. What’s the importance of this? You might wonder. Why should I find out what my well water flow rate is? Well, the flow rate is how many gallons per minute your well pump can put out. It’s important and nice to know what your well pump flow rate is and how many gallons per minute it can put out and then check it again a year from now. It just takes minutes to do so it’s easy to find out. It’s good to know if there’s any changes.</div>

Basically, reasons why you should test your well water periodically, What to test for, How often should I test my well water, When to use a certified lab versus doing it yourself, and a test you can do yourself today at home without any test kit and get the basic idea of one of the parameters of your water.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So you might ask, “Why should I test my water?” well, if you think about it municipal city water systems test their water routinely, regularly. They’re on top of it, making sure the water is safe and that means they’re required too anyway. But there’s no requirement to test a private well, except when you first have it drilled or maybe you’re refining in your home and they know you’re on a private well and they might want to a basic test for bacteria, perhaps nitrate, and few other things.<br />

<h2>
Water Well Filters</h2>
June from North Dakota emailed me, asking:<br />
<br />
"We grew up in the city and have retired to our country home on well water. I want to improve the water, are there any things we should look for or do (or NOT do!) when looking at filter systems? Mostly we think we have an iron problem, I don't want a softener."<br />
<br />
Thanks June, that is a great question.<br />
<br />
I will send you a separate email about your water chemistry (thanks for emailing the water test).. but I thought I would share with you and my other readers problems related and common issues.<br />
<br />
There are five common problems folks make when buying a water well filter for their domestic water well. You may not be in this situation but here are the common ones to think about!<br />
<br />
The five most typical mistakes in choosing a home water treatment device comes from the failure to correctly plan and understand the existing well water system. These are:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Failing to correctly test the well water chemistry.</li>
<li>Not understanding precisely how their well water system operates.</li>
<li>Not understanding the flow rate.</li>
<li>Not checking the water pressure that their well water pump system will produce,</li>
<li>Not selecting a water well filter that will work for their water chemistry, flow rate, and water pressure (and ending up with a filter that won't work properly, and restricts the flow and pressure in the home).</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h3>
Quality of Water</h3>
Did you grow up on well water? Many folks (like me) grew up in the city (or suburbs in my case) with safe treated city water and later relocated to the countryside. We never gave much thought to the water supply until we were on well water, and saw our fixtures turn white or orange. Drinking water was taken for granted and thought to be plentiful and safe.<br />
<br />
After living on a home with well water, you may have noticed unpalatable or smelly drinking water for the very first time. Your well water may be rusty, be full of sediment, have a bad odor, or perhaps have bacteria.<br />
<br />
Happily there are a wide array of water well filters in the marketplace to resolve these issues.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately numerous water treatment equipment suppliers, retail outlets and big box retail stores often have only one type which are supposed to fit every situation, which results in poor performance and frequent repairs and service.<br />

<h3>
Water Chemistry is the Key to Locating the Best System</h3>
Almost all water well filters have certain ranges as well as conditions that they operate within. For example many well waters are often acid in nature, and at the same time have iron present. Many iron filters will not remove iron when the water is acid, so first the water must be treated to counteract the level of acidity in the water.<br />
<br />
Understanding what exactly to analyze for is very important. If the well is located near filling stations, industrial sites, or near a farming area the well water should be analyzed once a year for a number of chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides and organic compounds. <br />
<br />
You might also consider a bacteria test at least once a year to make sure your well is free of coliform bacteria.<br />
<br />
Get a general mineral analysis in order to test for common water quality situations such as undesirable tastes, smells, or stains.This typically includes manganese, iron, hardness, dissolved solids, pH, turbidity and alkalinity. Further analysis can include nitrate, sulfate, arsenic, chloride, and sodium, not to mention metals such as lead.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Well Pumps Vary in Type</h3>
Your well water is pumped from the ground automatically with a a pump inside the well (a submersible pump), or perhaps you have a pump which is located on top of ground level that pulls water out of the water table to create water pressure within the house (a jet pump).<br />
<br />
Quite a few well water systems use a large holding tank to store the actual water before it is pumped again into the family home. Various other well water systems will be gravity fed, and use gravity to supply water pressure towards property.<br />
<br />
Understanding the principals of the way the well water system performs is important when deciding on a water well filter. The type of treatment solution which is used can detrimentally impact the water pressure and flow rate in the house. For example should the well use a pressure tank, a water well filter should be set up after the pressure tank, never right before, to avoid causing damage to the well pump.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Flow Rate of Well Pump is Critical</h3>
Water wells and well pumps come in different sizes and can pump water at different rates. For example water that fills up a 1 gallon container in one minute, can be said to be pumping at 1 gallon per minute or 1 GPM.<br />
<br />
It is easy for you to determine what the flow rate from the pump. <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/resource/calculators/how-to-determine-pump-flow-rate-on-systems-with-pressure-tanks/" target="_blank">Click Here for an easy to use flow rate calculator.</a> This will enable you to size your water well filter so it works with your well's particular flow rate. Most water well filters are automatic back washing type and demand specific nominal flow rate.<br />
<br />
A typical miscalculation is to install a water well filter that will require 10 gallons per minute, but have a well pump that only pumps 7 gallons each minute. In this situation, after a number of months, the water well filter will not work properly. If a home is large and the well can easily pump a higher flow rate, but a smaller treatment system is put in that does not work with the given flow rate, water pressure drop definitely will result.<br />

<br />
<h3>
Water Pressure Plays a Major Part</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
Water pressure also has a crucial role in selecting your water well filter. Almost all water well filters will reduce the water pressure slightly as the water flows through the equipment. It is critical to know what the water pressure from the well pump and pressure system, prior to buying your water well filter as a way to get decent water pressure inside the home.<br />
<br />
In this manner, kitchen and other fixtures and home appliances will work correctly. Many well pump systems may be fine-tuned to function with a higher pressure, if the pressure is not high enough to start with.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Choosing the Proper Treatment System to Do the Job</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
Although some water well filters get rid of different pollutants, there isn't one treatment system that can work with each and every application or water contaminant.<br />
<br />
It is essential to understand what the capacity of the treatment methods that are being considered, what contaminants they remove, precisely what selection of flow rates they're able to process, and what water pressures they will operate within.<br />

Mr Bulfin,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our problem is iron bacteria. We live outside of town and use well water. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We get reddish rusty water and per your suggestion, I looked in the toilet flush tanks, and they are covered with slime and what looks like orange hair growing out from the sides of the toilet flush tank. We also get some bad sulfur odors, mostly if we leave the house for a few days to visit my parents or go out of town.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have a filter on the main pipe after our pressure tank, and that gets covered with orange slimy sediment too. I am pretty sure we have iron bacteria, but how do I get rid of it? I am on a low budget, sorry to say!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mary,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing. This is a common problem. Iron and sulfur bacteria use iron to form their cell walls and in the process create slime and often odors. Iron bacteria naturally occur in soil, shallow groundwater, and surface waters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7Bm5i3RS98/Wco2c2zgtHI/AAAAAAAAA8w/ImxNpS-hqDYjPJ9rCzJZ40jdhUV6FJA7ACLcBGAs/s1600/IRON-BACTERIA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="234" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7Bm5i3RS98/Wco2c2zgtHI/AAAAAAAAA8w/ImxNpS-hqDYjPJ9rCzJZ40jdhUV6FJA7ACLcBGAs/s320/IRON-BACTERIA.jpg" width="169" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These nuisance bacteria combine iron (or manganese) and oxygen to form deposits of "rust," bacterial cells, and a slimy material that sticks to the walls of pipes, pumps, and plumbing fixtures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One way to help cut down on the amount of iron bacteria in your well is to periodically do a chlorine shock. <br />
<br />
See more information on disinfecting the well with chlorine here. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/resource/how-to-guides/how-to-shock-chlorinate-sanitize-wells/">http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/resource/how-to-guides/how-to-shock-chlorinate-sanitize-wells/</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have a serious problem in your well with iron bacteria, you will need to contact a well professional to get help to try and eliminate the slime down in the well. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To eliminate it in the pipes above ground, the lowest cost and best approach is to use an automatic chlorinator, followed by a filter to remove the rust and chlorine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lcKr0A0I-C8/Wco2n5AuiHI/AAAAAAAAA80/NnximSoqPk0NhggBObJX-K_yMn6zSHScACLcBGAs/s1600/iron-bacteria-toilet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="886" height="270" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lcKr0A0I-C8/Wco2n5AuiHI/AAAAAAAAA80/NnximSoqPk0NhggBObJX-K_yMn6zSHScACLcBGAs/s400/iron-bacteria-toilet.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our chlorine injection system uses a metering pump wired to the load side of your pressure switch so that the pump comes on with your well. The pump will inject a mixture of chlorine and water into the plumbing via the injection check valve. Since we wire this to your pressure switch, we need to confirm the voltage of your well pump (usually it is 220v however).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once the chlorine is injected, we need “retention time” for the chlorine to react with the water and destroy the iron bacteria. This is done using a contact tank. A 40 gallon contact tank will be able to provide ample retention time for the chlorine to react with the water.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the contact tank, the water will go into the iron filter. The iron filter will remove the iron and manganese from the water. It also loves the presence of chlorine and will take a lot of the leftover chlorine from the water.<br />
<br />
You shouldn’t have more than city water levels of chlorine in the house water after the iron filter but you can use a final carbon filter under the sink or for the whole house if you want water with no residual chlorine.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dear Sir,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I live in the country in a small neighborhood served by a well. Our water has iron in it and also the water smells bad. See the attached water report. Can I install a chlorinator and filter for my home only? My neighbors are not interested in fixing the main well water. How can I install a chlorinator for just my home?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Susan,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing. Yes, it is possible to install a chlorinator for just your own home using a proportional chlorinator and Pro-OX iron filter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Here is how to get chlorinated and filtered water at your home:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Use a proportional feed type chlorinator, that injects a precise amount of chlorine based on the flow of water.</li>
<li>Use a retention tank to allow some contact time for the chlorine to work and dissipate.</li>
<li>Install a Pro-OX iron filter to remove iron, manganese and reduce chlorine.</li>
<li>Install a carbon backwash filter to remove residual chlorine as an option.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How this application will work is the chlorine (mixed with water) is injected whenever the water flows through the Flow Meter which will then energize the Metering Pump to begin injecting solution based upon the rate of flow. Once injected the 40-gallon Contact Tank allows for sufficient retention time so the chlorine can react with the contaminants and fully oxidize for filtration. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Proportional Flow Chlorinator will allow us to only inject the chlorine solution based upon water flow. Installation is quite simple as well, simply plug the Metering Pump into a standard outlet and connect the two dry contact wires at the Metering Pump to the two dry contacts on the Flow Meter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pro-OX Manganese Dioxide media is an NSF Certified natural high purity mineral that is used for removing Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide, and Manganese from water supplies. The media utilizes an oxidation-reduction reaction and filtration process similar to Greensand but at a much higher level of performance.<br />
<br />
Pro-OX has a much higher surface area, is much more porous than Greensand, and also lasts much longer (usually 10+ years depending on usage) compared to around 5 years maximum for other filter media. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The high purity coconut shell activated carbon will remove any residual chlorine, tastes, and odors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These filters are fully automatic and use the reliable 5900 control valve for dependable filtration with minimal maintenance requirements along with being quite user-friendly in operation.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="clear: right; float: right; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My question is: which well water filter system is best for my well water? I do not have iron or rust stains, but we do get a lot of grit and sediment. Every 2 -3 weeks I need to change the filter on our main line coming. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The filter is a GE whole house filter and I have tried different cartridges. I think we are using a 5 micron one now and it works fine. It fills with some sand, but mostly fine sediment of some kind. While it might work OK, it does not last long. Is there a different type that lasts longer?</div>

John,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing. In regard to treating sediment there are a couple of options depending on the levels of material coming from the well. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To determine the best method moving forward I recommend a bucket test and run the water into a 5 Gallon Bucket straight from your Pressure Tank. Then using a Stopwatch time whatever settles to the bottom in 3 minutes or less. Whatever settles out in that time can use a Centrifugal Sand Separator.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are a couple types of separators available depending on the application, I’ll start with a straight forward model typically ideal for a residential application treating between 10 – 20 GPM however we do offer both larger and smaller sizes as well. These do not reduce the water pressure and have no filter element to change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Note these are sized by well output, not the pipe size in order for proper operations. </u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now let’s take the bucket test again and say that hardly anything settled out. In that case we would recommend a backwashing Sediment Filter instead. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The high purity natural mined Zeolite ChemSorb media filters and removes rust/sediment down to 3 - 5 microns. Unlike filter cartridges that quickly become clogged and require frequent changes, the Backwash Sediment Filter automatically backwashes the rust/sediment restoring water pressure. The media is easily changed and lasts for about 5 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following will provide images, product links, as well as additional information on both of these systems. This equipment is sized for a home with 3 – 3.5 bathrooms however smaller and larger sizes are available.</div>

Hi Gerry,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My neighbor works at our local water treatment plant, and he told us he thinks we should put in a chlorinator. We have tested off and on ever since we bought this farm for coliform bacteria in our well water. We added chlorine to the well but after a few months we tested positive again for bacteria. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How do chlorinators work? Does it use regular bleach? We don't want chlorinated water to go out on the orchard, just for inside our house.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Joan,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing. It is best to try to identify the source of the bacteria first if possible. Have you checked the top of your well to make sure there are no cracks or loose fittings? You might consider having a well professional (well driller or well contractor) take a look down at your well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you find you need to install a continuous system for disinfection, chlorine is a good low cost way to go, provided there is sufficient contact or retention time, after the chlorine is injected, before the water reaches the house. You would also need to monitor it, to make sure there is a chlorine residual (which is easy to do with a simple test kit). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You might also consider having a dual-barrier system, so that if anything ever happened to the chlorinator you have a secondary disinfection system, such as <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/UV002370.html#tab=tab1" target="_blank">ultraviolet sterilizer.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please see this link and page for some important easy-to-follow steps for chlorinators on home well systems: </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b>Questions to Ask When Choosing a Chlorinator:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
• Have I had my water tested?<br />
• What is the “chlorine demand” (based on my water test) of my water?<br />
• What is the flow rate of my well pump in gallons per minute?<br />
• How much contact time do I have after the chlorine is injected and will a contact tank be necessary?<br />
• What is the line pressure in PSI, at the point where I plan to inject the chlorine?<br />
<br />
Here is a diagram of a typical home water well chlorinator installed right at the home, and you can easily bypass the garden and orchard with this type of system:<br />

Gerry,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a cistern that is fed by two wells. One is our own well, and one is a community well. I have a ballcock type manual float in the cistern, that lets in water when the level in the cistern drops by 6 inches or so. Both the wells have their own pressure tanks, but each well feeds the tank at different speeds. That is, our well has a low flow, and flows at about 4 gallons per minute. When I am able to get access to the community system, it flows in much faster.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to chlorinate the smelly, dark well water as it flows into the cistern (see attached pics), and I am wondering what type of flow switch or water meter I can get that controls the chlorinator pump, by flow. I want to inject an even amount of chlorine as I don’t want too much or too little. Also looking for a filter, after the cistern to take out the rust and sediment. Any ideas?</div>

Hey Mick,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing and sending in some pictures. You nailed it when you mentioned ‘water meter’ as what you need is a proportional feed controlled chlorinator with flow meter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With this type of chlorinator, the chlorine bleach is precisely injected whenever the water flows through the flow meter. The flow meter, which looks like a water meter with a cable attached to the metering pump, will then energize the metering pump and begin injecting solution based upon the rate of flow. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

After the cistern, your booster pump will pump the water through a Pro-OX iron filter, which will remove the dark color, rust and sediment. There would be little or no chlorine residual left in the water at this point, although you could use an optional carbon filter, after the iron filter if you wanted to.</div>

Pro-OX Manganese Dioxide media is an NSF Certified natural high purity mineral that is used for removing iron, hydrogen sulfide, and manganese from water supplies. This media utilizes an oxidation-reduction reaction and filtration process similar to greensand, but at a much higher level of performance. </div>

Pro-OX has a much higher surface area, is much more porous than Greensand, and also lasts much longer (usually 10+ years) compared to around 5 years typically for other filter media. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The result is very clean, odor-free, disinfected water free of sediment and iron with no chlorine taste or odor in the house.</div>

My question is about sulfur smell. I have a sulfur smell in our well water, but after we use the water for a day, it goes away. We only notice it when we leave the house to visit our grand kids or go on vacation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why is that? What is it from, why do we get this terrible odor, only when we are gone? When we come home my husband has to flush the water heater and open up the faucets and let the water run. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Actually, we realized that the water from the well itself outside does not smell, only the water in the house. Its as bad on the cold as it is on the hot. Any ideas?</div>

Hello Sally,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: -13.5pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: justify; text-align: justify; text-justify: newspaper; text-justify: newspaper; text-kashida-space: 50%; text-kashida-space: 50%;">
<br />
<br />
This sulfur smell is hydrogen sulfide gas. Most likely, it is being caused by sulfur or iron bacteria. The bacteria live in a 'bio-film' in your piping. If the water is not used, the bacteria gets a chance to live and grow and create more hydrogen sulfide gas.<br />
<br />
Water containing hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) has a distinctive "rotten egg" odor, which may be especially noticeable when running hot water but its also common in cold water. Such water can discolor beverages like coffee and tea, and alter the appearance and taste of cooked foods.<br />
<br />
Hydrogen sulfide gas is a nuisance. Though, it is not usually a health risk at concentrations normally found in household water, hydrogen sulfide is flammable and poisonous, and can be toxic.<br />
<br />
<b> Sources of Hydrogen Sulfide</b><br />
<br />
Iron and sulfur bacteria present in groundwater use iron and sulfur as an energy source and chemically change sulfates to produce H2S gas. These bacteria use the sulfur available from decaying plants, rocks, or soil, and often thrive in iron-rich environments.<br />
<br />
The harmless, non-toxic bacteria normally exist in oxygen-deficient environments, such as deep wells and plumbing systems. The bacteria do not usually cause health problems, but contribute to bad tastes and/or odors at low levels.<br />
<br />
Hydrogen sulfide gas may also be present naturally in wells drilled in shale or sandstone, near coal or peat deposits, in oil fields, and in sewage. <br />
<br />
Even though H2S is normally found in wells, it can also enter surface water through springs and quickly escape into the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
Water heaters can also become a source of foul H2S odors. The magnesium rod used in heaters for corrosion control can chemically reduce sulfates to H2S.</div>

If you have a whole house cartridge filter, you can add 1 to 2 cups of bleach to the filter, then turn the water back on and run the water at various faucets in the house until you can smell chlorine at all faucets. Turn off water and let sit for 4 to 6 hours. Then turn on and allow water to flush.<br />
<br />
If the odor comes back, you repeat the process. Sometimes you need to repeat this process several times before the bio-film is eliminated. <br />
<br />
If you have galvanized iron pipe, it may be impossible to clean out the pipes, and you might need to re-pipe with copper or pex piping.<br />
<br />
If the odor gets worse later or you want to, you can have an automatic chlorinator as well. You can turn this one when you need to, to sanitize the pipes. These are easy to work with and relatively low cost.</div>

You can also look in your toilet flush tank and see if there are signs of iron bacteria. <br />
<br />
Unless your it is new or has recently been cleaned, your toilet flush tank can be a wealth of useful water quality information! Simply lift the cover and look in. <br />
<br />
If you see slimy rust deposits on the sides of the tank and frothy bubbles in the tank water, this may indicate the presence of iron or sulfur bacteria which can create sulfur and other odors in your water.</div>

<br />
I just moved into a country home and our water smells like rotten eggs. I have seen where adding chlorine bleach to the well can solve this problem. Can you let me know if this will work? I had our water tested and attach a copy of our test report. <br />
<br />
We don’t see any rust stains and the water seems fine, but both the hot and cold smell. The former owner said it did not used to smell and said we can add some bleach to the well to fix it.<br />
<br />
How do you define ‘shock chlorination’? I don’t want to just pour a lot of bleach down my well without learning more about it.<br />
<br />

Dear Dr. Bill,<br />
<br />
Thanks for emailing. <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/resource/how-to-guides/how-to-shock-chlorinate-sanitize-wells/" target="_blank">Shock chlorination</a> is the process by which home water systems such as wells, springs, and cisterns are disinfected using liquid bleach. This involves adding enough chlorine to bring up the chlorine residual to 100 to 200 PPM and allowing the chlorinated water to sit for 6 to 12 hours, and then flushing the water.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AbG-DPSVrvo/WYls9mfqb3I/AAAAAAAAA40/-E9ovOjDK-kxW9qmKUcUPqKdR7KvNMdxwCLcBGAs/s1600/private_water_well.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="468" data-original-width="414" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AbG-DPSVrvo/WYls9mfqb3I/AAAAAAAAA40/-E9ovOjDK-kxW9qmKUcUPqKdR7KvNMdxwCLcBGAs/s400/private_water_well.jpg" width="353" /></a></div>
This can temporarily stop the odor. By adding chlorine to the well, the odor may go away temporarily or in some cases it can be eliminated for months, especially if the odor has occurred when the well water sat undisturbed for some weeks. <br />
<br />
Iron or sulfate reducing bacteria can thrive in well water especially when conditions are right. Warmer temperatures and stagnant waters can allow certain types of bacteria to thrive, giving off hydrogen sulfide gas.<br />
<br />
Chlorine can eliminate this problem, but it may come back. Please see our guide “<a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/resource/how-to-guides/how-to-shock-chlorinate-sanitize-wells/" target="_blank">How to Shock Chlorinate and Sanitize We</a><a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/resource/how-to-guides/how-to-shock-chlorinate-sanitize-wells/" target="_blank">lls</a>”. <br />

<br />
Whether or not you chlorinate your well yourself and how you go about it are decisions you need to make on your own. The following shock chlorination guidelines are those often used by many well owners and professional well service companies. In most cases, these procedures will successfully sterilize your well of bacteria and kill the odor.<br />
<br />
The procedures are relatively simple, but can be hazardous if it is not done correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely and properly follow these procedures, we urge you to contact a well service company for professional help. <br />
<br />
If you need to find a well professional, we recommend the National Groundwater Association.<br />

Question for you. My well water smells like rotten eggs. I don’t know what happened, it did not start to smell until recently. This summer its been very not and we started noticing rotten egg odor in our cold well water. Even sprinkling on the lawn leaves a bad smell around the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have iron (2.4 mg/L) and hardness 9 grains/gallon. I don’t know what our pH is, but it is around 7 to 7.5 I think. We use a water softener, and it works OK on the iron, but the bad odor is driving us crazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have a little sediment, not bad, but I have to change the whole house filter at least once a month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is the best way to deal with this type of smelly well water?</div>

John,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you for emailing. One very effective low-cost way to treat water such as this is by using a <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/FE011870-p-diagram-chlor-ct.html#tab=tab1" target="_blank">Pro-Ox Air Charger</a> in front of your existing water softener. This will eliminate hydrogen sulfide gas (rotten-egg odor) up to about 5 parts per million.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If the odors are severe you may need to do chlorination or Peroxide injection in addition to a Contact Tank. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Air-Charger Iron Filter System is unique as doesn’t use any chemicals during the backwashing process. Instead, how it works is as the water passes through the air-pocket any Iron, Manganese, and Sulfur odors are oxidized for filtration by the Pro-Ox media. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pro-OX Manganese Dioxide media is an NSF Certified natural high purity medium which utilizes an oxidation-reduction reaction and filtration process similar to Greensand but at a much higher level of performance. Pro-OX has a much higher surface area, is much more porous than Greensand, and also lasts much longer (usually 10 + years) compared to around 5 years maximum for Greensand and other filter medias.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have an easy to follow guide on removing odors which details the various options, including using aeration, chlorination and hydrogen peroxide. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These systems are fully automatic and use the reliable 5900e control valve for dependable filtration with minimal maintenance requirements along with being quite a user-friendly in operation.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing you can use is a low-cost optional <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/MS006640.html#tab=tab1" target="_blank">Spindown filter</a> which would be installed upstream of the Iron filter. This will protect against sand/sediment from entering the Control Valve and cause unwanted problems. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can also use this to shock the filter/house with chlorine from time to time as will help with odor buildup as well as improving the filters cleanliness. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This uses a mesh screen thus no filter cartridges that need constant servicing. Simply flush the valve for 10 – 20 seconds as needed and done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following will show images, a brief description of each, system cost, warranty specifics, along with product links for more information. This is sized for a home with 3 – 3.5 bathrooms, however, smaller and larger sizes are available.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">I have a question. I have iron in my well water, but my water is also on the acid side (somewhere between 6 and 6.5 I think). This is out at our lake house, and we only used it on some weekends and sometimes more in the summer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">I was recommended by our local Culligan company to use a calcite neutralizer followed by their iron filter. Is there one tank or one system that can do both? The home has 2 bathrooms, but it's usually just me and my wife there.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks for emailing. Yes, there is a combination <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/iron-filter-pro-ox-air.html#item=FE012480&tab=tab1" target="_blank">Pro-OX-AIR iron filter</a> that has a blend of Pro-OX iron filter media as well as some calcite in it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">If you used a lot of water and lived there full time, we might recommend a separate neutralizer and iron filter, but you can save money and space by using the Pro-OX blend iron filter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">There are two types of Pro-OX Air systems, the Pro-OX AIR standard system, and the Pro-OX AIR blend which not only removes iron and odors but also eliminates acid water conditions as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Iron oxidizes (turns into a solid particle) best and most rapidly at a pH range of 7.0 to 8.0. A low pH (less than 7) keeps the iron in solution. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Low pH water usually has clear water iron. Aeration helps raise pH because the reason for low pH is typically dissolved carbon dioxide. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/iron-filter-pro-ox-air.html#item=FE012480&tab=tab1" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Pro-OX-Air blend iron filters:</span></a><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Works down to pH 6 (If you have less than 6, you are better off getting a separate standalone neutralizer)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">pH Blend Pro-OX Filter</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Includes 2/3rds Pro-OX 1/3rd Calcite</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Easy to add additional Calcite</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Add 1 -3 times a year depending on usage</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Translucent tank – easy to see level of filter media.</span></li>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #383838; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Use the Pro-OX Blend series when your well water pH is between 6 and 6.9. One advantage of the Pro-OX Blend series is that the Pro-OX media lasts for many years, but the calcite dissolves over a period of a few months. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #383838; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This means you can simply add more calcite on top of the more permanent iron filter media.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #383838; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Pro-OX iron filter media can last 15 to 20 years, unlike other media that must be changed every few years. The standard Pro-OX-AIR iron filter removes iron, manganese and sulfur odors through a combination of natural aeration and the powerful Pro-OX filter media.</span></div>

I have a neutralizer but it is not raising the pH to the 7 to 8 range which I had hoped for. I don’t know who made or installed the neutralizer, it came with our house when we bought it. <br />
<br />
It does use up the calcite over time and I added more, but still, sometimes the pH is less than 7. Our well water is pretty acid, I think it is about 5.6 or 5.8. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What can I do, install a soda ash feeder? We like the idea of adding calcium and I understand soda ash has sodium in it, so we wished the calcite neutralizer worked better. Any help you can give would be appreciated.</div>

Hi Susan,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a common problem, and it might be because you are using straight calcite. Because your pH is less than 6.0, it would work better to add some magnesium oxide (which adds magnesium, not calcium).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For pH levels below 5.0, we generally recommend a chemical feed pump injecting soda ash for residential applications, or sodium hydroxide for commercial and industrial applications. <br />
<br />
But since your pH is above 5.0, a blend of 90% calcite and 10% Corosex or <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/filter-media-corosex.html#item=M1001790&tab=tab1" target="_blank">Flo-Mag</a> (same material, different brand names) by weight will do the job.<br />
<br />
Here is a simple chart that tells when to use which type of blend:</div>

When To Use 100% Calcite</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Use 100% calcite if the pH is from 6.0 up to 6.9. Calcite is a safe, easy to use, natural product made from high purity limestone. It is specially selected and sized to optimally adjust pH in potable water systems. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having used various brands over many years, <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/M1001700.html#tab=tab1" target="_blank">the one we like the best is Puri-Cal</a>. It is mined in Washington state and NSF certified for drinking water. It is clean, white and dissolves readily, unlike some types we used in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When used in your <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/neutralizer-filter-5900.html#item=NF005020&tab=tab1" target="_blank">calcite water neutralizer</a> it will gently and effectively adjust the pH of your water and help minimize corrosion problems in plumbing and appliances.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, if the pH is less than 6.0 then it works better if you blend or add some magnesium oxide (“Mag Oxide”) to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mag oxide is sold under various brand names such as Corosex, <a href="http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/filter-media-corosex.html#item=M1001790&tab=tab1" target="_blank">Flomag</a>, and other names. It is also a natural product made from mineral sources. If you use too much Mag Oxide in the blend, it can raise the pH too high. A mixture of about 80% or 90% calcite to 20% to 10% magnesium oxide works well.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Calcite dissolves more easily and rapidly if the water isn’t very high in hardness. If the water already has a high level of hardness in it, then the calcite won’t dissolve properly. Generally, this is not a big problem because typically acidic water is also naturally soft water.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, if the water is over 10 grains per gallon (or about 171 mg/L) then it is best to use a chemical feed pump and inject a soda ash solution and not use a calcite or mag oxide blend system.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dear Sir,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a problem with copper corrosion at our home. We noticed the blue stains on the bathtub and toilet when we first bought this house. Since then we have had some small leaks in our pipes. We had the water tested: hardness = 10 mg/L, pH = 6.4, total dissolved solids = 130 mg/L. We don’t have any iron, or sediment, no odors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have 2 bathrooms, my husband and I, plus two kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We like the water, just want to get rid of the acidity. What do you suggest? Our neighbors have a water neutralizer from you, but we wanted to get your opinion directly. Thank you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Hello Dorothy,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One very effective method to treat acidic water is by implementing an Acid Water Neutralizer. A water neutralizer system will raise the pH to a Neutral level, around 7 – 7.5, will stop and prevent pin-hole leaks from occurring, and also reduce copper residuals in the water as well. </div>

<b>Calcite Neutralizer Diagram</b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZO1B80jACk/WV4F9fsxDXI/AAAAAAAAA10/8frdVZrc1Io8ASZmMD9pOO7wdAkr3SCNgCLcBGAs/s1600/CAL.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="615" data-original-width="600" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZO1B80jACk/WV4F9fsxDXI/AAAAAAAAA10/8frdVZrc1Io8ASZmMD9pOO7wdAkr3SCNgCLcBGAs/s1600/CAL.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the raw water in this case at 6.4, I would recommend a straight Calcite (Calcium Carbonate) system. Many customers with this type of water used to have blue-green stains from copper pipe corrosion and after installing a Neutralizer see their blue stains disappear within a few weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Neutralizer filter comes with everything you need including necessary Calcite media along with simple installation instructions. Any plumber or person familiar with basic plumbing can install them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would recommend an optional Spindown filter which would be installed upstream of the backwashing filter so as to protect against sand/sediment from entering the control valve and cause unwanted problems. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can also use this to shock the filter/house with Bleach or Peroxide from time to time as will help with odor buildup as well as improving the filters cleanliness and longevity. The Spindown filter uses a mesh screen thus no filter cartridges that need constant servicing. Simply flush the valve for 10 – 20 seconds about once a month or as needed and done.</div>

Gerry,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you have a well pump and pressure tank diagram you can send me? My son asked me how our well works, and I was trying to find some basic diagram that showed all the working parts. We have what I think is pretty typical well here in Montana, a submerged pump down in the ground, and a pressure tank on top.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the way, I got your test kit and that worked great, thanks again for helping me sort out my well problems.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing and glad you were able to test your water using the test kit. See below for a typical well water and pressure tank diagram we created. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A great resource to learn more about wells and find a local certified well contractor is the National Ground Water Association. I have been a member for years and it’s a great resource. See them at <a href="http://www.wellowner.org/">www.wellowner.org</a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here (below) are the main components of the most modern submersible pump and pressure tank systems.<br />
<br />
Your well system may not have all these parts but you will have at least the submersible well pump, check valve, pressure switch and pressure tank. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Check Valve</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Located at the top of the pump to prevent backflow into the pump and hold the head of water in the system.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Torque Arrestor</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Installed directly above Submersible Pump to protect pump and well components from starting torque damage.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Safety Rope</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>A safety line from the top of the well to the pump.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Pitless Adapter</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Provides a watertight sanitary removable connection between pump and house. Installed in the casing below the frost line to prevent freezing.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Watertight Well Cap</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Provides a watertight seal when its inner gasket compresses to the outside diameter of the casing. Top of cap removes easily to access well for service.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Well Seal</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Provides a positive seal inside the casing in above-ground installations.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. Check Valve</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Installed near the tank inlet to hold water in the tank during pump installation when the pump is idle.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Tank Tee</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Connects water line from the pump to pressure tank and service line from tank to house. Taps are provided to accept Pressure Switch, Pressure Gauge, Drain Valve, Relief Valve, Sniffer Valve, etc.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. Drain Valve</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Drain easy draining of the system.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. Relief Valve</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Protects against pressure build-up. Should be used on any system where the pump could develop pressure that exceeds the maximum system rating.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
11. Pressure Gauge</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Measures water pressure in Pressure Tank.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
12. Pressure Switch</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Signals the pump to start when the water system drops to a pre-set low pressure, and to stop when the high-pressure mark is reached.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
13. Safety Switch</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>For electric control and distribution to the pump.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
14. Pump Saver</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Adjustable, solid control monitors system load conditions to protect pump motor from dry well flow loss, rapid cycling, slow recovery, airlock and locked rotor problems.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
15. Lightning Arrestor</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Protects pump motor and controls from voltage surges caused by lightning, switching loads and power line interference.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
16. Ball Valve</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Acts as a shutoff</li>
</ul>
<div>

<br />
Can I get an iron filter that will remove iron and manganese without using chemicals or salt?<br />
<br />
I put in an iron filter last year from a different company to remove iron and manganese from my home well water.. They had promised me I would not use any chemicals, but it only worked for a few months, and then the water was bad again. The iron filter they sold me came with greensand and calcite and some other media I am not sure what it was.<br />
<br />
When I called them back, they said it was because I needed a chlorinator and then they tried to sell me a chlorinator. I don’t have any sulfur smell, just iron (about 2.0 – 3.0 PPM) and manganese (about 0.15 PPM or so, not sure exactly, it's there but not a huge amount). I also emailed you our water test report.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions? It's just me and my wife and dogs, 2 bathroom home. We have about 12 gallons a minute from our well pump.<br />

Thanks for emailing. The Pro-OX Air iron filter is a good option for your water.<br />
<br />
This uses air injection directly in the filter to oxidize the contaminants out and then passes the water through a mixed bed of filtration media specifically designed to remove them from the water.<br />
<br />
This is an automatic backwashing system that rinses out the media about once per week in order to keep the media clean as well as maintain a head of air for the oxidation purposes. Unlike other Air Charger systems this valve doesn’t need to do a full backwash every night, rather this simply does an automatic suction to replenish the air-pocket.<br />
<br />
Essentially how the Iron & Manganese is removed is Oxidation followed by Filtration. The chemical-free operation using aeration allows for highly oxidative water resulting in effective Iron & Manganese Removal.<br />
<br />
Pro-OX has a much higher surface area, is much more porous, and also lasts much longer (usually between 10 - 12 years), compared to around 5 years maximum for Greensand.<br />
<br />
These filters are fully automatic and use the reliable 5900e control valve for dependable filtration with minimal maintenance requirements along with being quite a user-friendly in operation.<br />
<br />
<br />
We also recommend an optional Spindown pre-filter which would be installed upstream of the backwashing filter so as to protect against sand/sediment from entering the control valve and cause unwanted problems.<br />
<br />
You can also use this pre-filter to shock the filter/house with Bleach or Peroxide from time to time as will help with odor buildup as well as improving the filters cleanliness and longevity. No need for constant chlorination though.<br />
<br />
The Spindown filter uses a mesh screen thus no filter cartridges that need constant servicing. Simply flush the valve for 10 – 20 seconds about once a month or as needed and done.<br />

Dear Sir,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My question has to do with smelly water. Our well water smells bad (rotten-eggs) in the cold water, and its worse in the hot water. I prefer not to use chlorine, is there some of aeration tank I can use? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our home has two bathrooms, 4 people. Our well water is good except for smell. We don’t get rust stains like our neighbors. When we purchased this place it was tested and no bacteria was present and water is supposedly safe to drink, it just smells terrible. Thank you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
David,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for emailing. You don’t have to use chlorine to get rid of odor. One alternative way that is very effective is to inject automatically hydrogen peroxide and then filter the water with a Sulfur Air-Charger Catalytic Carbon Filter System.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This type of system is completely automatic and there are not filter cartridges to change. The only routine maintenance involves adding some hydrogen peroxide to the solution tank every few months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like chlorine, hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizer and can quickly eliminate the odors. Unlike chlorine however, hydrogen peroxide leaves behind no trace of chemical by-products. When hydrogen peroxide is injected into water, a large amount of dissolved oxygen is released and a strong oxidizing effect takes place. Odors are eliminated, microorganisms are destroyed, and tannins can be oxidized.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hydrogen peroxide converts hydrogen sulfide gas, and iron present to a solid particle which is then removed by a back-washing self-cleaning carbon filtration system. Any residual hydrogen peroxide will be effectively removed by the carbon filter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Smelly odors are a common problem in well water systems. They are generally caused by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas, which can get into water sources in a number of ways: via sewage systems, near coal and peat deposits, in oil fields, and most commonly from iron and sulfur bacteria. <br />
<br />
These bacteria thrive on iron and sulfur, and chemically convert sulfates to produce H2S gas, causing the odors commonly experienced in well water systems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Fn08DEBh9k/WTTmcVZXtbI/AAAAAAAAAzs/rSOxIvGwZvcEBgY3zVN3iDXvagr1KwlWACLcB/s1600/PER-ST_MIX_CAR.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="593" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Fn08DEBh9k/WTTmcVZXtbI/AAAAAAAAAzs/rSOxIvGwZvcEBgY3zVN3iDXvagr1KwlWACLcB/s1600/PER-ST_MIX_CAR.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A combination of hydrogen peroxide injection (or chlorine) combined with aeration and filtration with catalytic carbon does an excellent job to completely eliminate these odors and produce crystal clear water with no chemical residual.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Air Charger Sulfur Filters pass the water through a pocket of air which oxidizes sulfur out of your water, then pass the water through a bed of filtration media specifically designed to remove odors from water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These systems are automatically backwashing, meaning the media inside is cleaned every 1-2 nights, prolonging the life of the media and providing the air used for oxidation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

This is an automatic backwashing system that rinses out the media about once per week in order to keep the media clean as well as maintain a head of air for the oxidation purposes. Unlike other Air Charger systems this valve doesn’t need to do a full backwash every night, rather this simply does an automatic suction to replenish the air-pocket. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
An optional Spindown filter should be installed upstream of the backwashing filter so as to protect against sand/sediment from entering the control valve and cause unwanted problems. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You can also use this to shock the filter/house with Bleach or Peroxide from time to time as will help with odor buildup as well as improving the filters cleanliness and longevity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Spindown filter uses a mesh screen thus no filter cartridges that need constant servicing. Simply flush the valve for 10 – 20 seconds about once a month or as needed and done.</div>
