I live in west-central Indiana....Tippecanoe county. The well water here is sulfurous, very hard, with lots of iron....I would have an orange tank if I used straight well water.
I have been using softened well water, however, I think it is contributing to hazy water and a high PH of 8.4.
I have a couple of 5 gallon water bottle so I could buy RO at the grocery store.....but that is a HUGE hassle.
I have thought about buying one of the RO systems from Amazon, but the holding tank on those is only a couple gallons and they take over an hour to fill....there is no way I could afford the big system from Culligan at almost $1k.
So, should I be conditioning my softened well water with something? If so with what? Will that help the water clear?
Should I buy RO every week from grocery store? Does RO need to be conditioned? If so with what?
Thoughts?
20 Gallon
2 Guppies
6 Mollies
2 Cories
Gravel
2 tetra whisper filter pumps, 1,20 and 1,30
