We have iron deposits in the water coming to the house which stains the bath and toilets pretty bad, not to mention the fact that it is a real pain to clean…We already have a whole house filter, but it’s not really doing a great job at getting all the dirt out.
I’d like to know what I can do to FIX the problem permanently ?
I am thinking of adding a hydrogen peroxide water treatment system to my Home.I found some info on them but my main concern is if it is safe for drinking?Is it safe to use bleach to toilets?Is it safe to use ammonia to wash floors? The system I am looking into installing is an injection system which injects 20% hydrogen into the water lines when the well kicks in.
I have a water well. The well services my house and also a rental house next door. The water is very brown but if I put it in a vase after a day or two it clears and you can see the sediment on the bottom. This sediment is causing major plumbing problems: the toilets get full of silt and the works inside have to be replaced frequently, the screens on all of the water faucets and the shower have to be cleaned about one a week and we can only guess what is happening inside of the water heater.
What kind a water filter should I buy? I Googled it but there are so many different kinds and types that I’m really confused. I need a really big commercial kind to go on the well, that can make sure that clean water is going to both my house and to the rental house too.
The water is just light brown, a little murky looking with a slightly rust colored tone. It’s not dark brown and it’s not really gross. There is no noticeable smell. All of the sediment usually sinks to the bottom of a container in about 24 hours and leaves perfectly clear water with gritty, rusty stuff settled on the bottom.
I’m about 5 miles outside of San Antonio, Texas city limits.
