Knowing what is in your well water is the first step to getting it fixed!
The internet need more videos like this! Thank you Gary!! 😀🧑🔬💧
Glad you enjoyed it, there are more to come.
I love your videos. You make it all so less stressful… your videos are always so informative. Thanks for making this content. 😊
You are so welcome! Please share video with friends and family.
Always enjoy how you go through everything step by step, Gary! Such an important part of fixing water quality and there's not enough up-to-date stuff on the topic out there. Or it's really dull stuff made by health departments. Hope to see more water testing content! 🙂
Sure thing! Plan to do more video on water testing soon.
thanks for the transparency on your water report
Sure thing! Please share video with friends and family!
This was awesome. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Please share video with friends and family
Hi Mr. Gary.. i am Matheyu, from south India. Before 10 years we dig a bore well to 600 feet. The bad out comes is we receiving hot water with chemical smell. No industries nearby, its deep village. If the bore well is 300 feet, we can get good water, but, the water out come is not enough for agriculture. It would be very thankful, if you give any solution to treat the water before irrigation. The another problem with the water is its damaging soil pores. Upon irrigation the soil turns like muddy clay. I am eagerly waiting for your reply. Thank you 🙏
You need to have your water tested so we know what is in the water before we know what will remove the contaminants
@GarytheWaterGuy thank you. I will do it and come back in a week. 🙏
@GarytheWaterGuy Hi sir, the borewell water test result is as follows:
PH: 8.2
Carbonate: 0.4 m equivalent/L
Bicarbonate: 3.0
Cloride: 7.7
Sulphate: -
Calcium: 1.0
Magnesium: 0.2
Sodium: 11.0869
Potassium: 0.0565
RSC: 2.2
SAR: 14.324
Water classification: C2S2R2
Geochemical: Sodium Cloride
This water comes out hot with a strong smell.
Our problems are:
●When there is no rain, all crops grow well with this water, but before yielding, plants are wilt and die.
In case there is rain during this time, water is not draining into the soil. It's like soil has been clogged.
● with this condition, paddy can grow with no problem.
● we tried adding gypsum, but no use
● when we try to mix this smelly water with nearby good borewell water for irrigation, it's giving more smell.
● our place is deep village.
We had a 300-foot borewell before 15 years. That borewell gave good water, we grow various crops. Our soil is red soil. After that, water went less, so we dig until 600 feet nearby. This 600 feet bore well, giving this unpleasant water problem until now. My father told me that when they digged 600 feet, there were black rock materials, and then they stopped after that. We gave up after that. I searched in youtube for any solution and got your videos.
We expecting from you is there any solution to treat the water before irrigation pls with less price. We have only 3 acres of land. it's our main business.
Thank you very much, sir. 🙏🙏🙏
If we need to do any other water test, pls tell me know, sir. we will do.
@@GarytheWaterGuy Hi sir, I am waiting for your advise.. thanks
Hey Gary! What do you recommend for removing Radon from your well water? I have a 58.2 pCi/L level. I had it tested by My Tapscore!
These folks specialize in radon radonontarioservices.ca/
Thank you for your fabulous videos explaining water issues! I ordered the test kit, but I have a question about where to take the sample. I have a new home and installed is a BOSHEART industries 14fhk-G series filter and a VIQUA Model# D4. The builder of my home has completed two bacteria test and they are good. My problem is that I’m on a Well and the water smells. My plan is to send you the test results so that you can advise me of equipment you have that will fix my issues. I'm interested in getting rid of the smell and a water softener. Should I take this sample after the VIQUA because I want to add to the system knowing whatever filters you recommend will go between the BOSHEART and the VIQUA?
You should take the water sample anywhere before Viqua system as the filter will not affect the results. This link explains where you will send the water sample ruclips.net/user/liveLr3jyGiJdC0
Love videos bro! I have a question about my water softener. I have a Westinghouse Progressive Series salt water system. When I start a manual regen. The tank fills for 8 minutes and then it says water softening and then it’s a two hour count down I don’t here any water running until it gets to zero. Is that 2 hour cycle normal? Thanks sir
Yes, you have a pre fill water softener. That is normal for those.
Gary can't you take your test sample from your spin pre filter, I use ispring with drain line?
Yes, but make sure that it is well flushed first.
Gary: I have a frost free yard faucet to my well head. Should I take the samples there or inside the house? I also have a bathroom sink in the basement that is before all filters and tanks. Thank you!
Great questions, either one works. Just be sure to disinfect the faucet first.
@@GarytheWaterGuy thanks Gary! I too have a similar situation and wondered the same.
Question for all. I am as numerous others who have lots of water filtration exp are stumped with my recent water testing. I have well water. I have an acid neutralizer(caltrite) no mixed pellets. Raw water is 14 grains hardness, p.H is 7.4. After filter, 20in Pentair Big Blue 2501, 25 to 1 micron(used for iron reduction) and neutralizer water is 150 ppm(8.77 grains) and p.H is 8.6.
1. I just bought my home from my mil. She bought neutralizer from her long time water people. 2. Isn't 7.4 neutral water? 3. Why is my water harder before filtration and neutralizer? Any ideas?
Thank you.
Yes, with a pH of 7.4 you would not need a neutralizer. I assume that you do niot have a water softener so the water should actually be harder after the neutralizer than it is before. I would make sure the testing procedure for hardness was the same for both tests.
Lol yes Its easy to get contaminant myopia ! Love the mistake #2 … so true
Yes, we need to keep focus on what we really need and follow through with getting than info for our families.
I had my well water tested last Year.
A few results where close to Max ppm.. and the iron was 6ppm. I’m sure it’s drink water quallity after it passes my water Softener,,
But since a year the smell and taste of my City water was really bad, not even drinkeable! Got it checked and it was high on bacterie, what should I do?
Did a flush with chlorine but did not help… Pleas 🤞🏻😁
If your well water is 6 ppm it is not drinkable. It might be drinkable after it passes through the water softener but you need to have it tested to be sure. You should get a Reverse Osmosis drinking water system like this one to make your city water drinkable waterestore.com/products/hum-water-saver-reverse-osmosis-system-75-gallons-per-day
@@GarytheWaterGuy I use zeoliet in my watersoftner to filter out the 6ppm of iron in my wellwater. I can see at my toilet it does great! We use this water for our pool, and is perfect.
But,, I also have citywater. This I use for bathroom and kitchen and this water has a really bad smell, taste. I got it tested and the results show it was high on bacterie.
To get the smell out my house/ pipe’s
I flushed with 15%chloor by adding it in my pre filter..
this did not helped, what should I do to sanitize my alupex pipe’s that are only 7 years old? Believe me, the smell is bad when taking a shower..
H2O?
Yep, correct! But it's all that other stuff that causes the grief!
Hi, ive got arsenic lead and lithium in my well water too. Whats the best filter for making it drinkable? Do you have a video on that? Thanks
A Reverse Osmosis drinking water system like this one would be the best solution for your family waterestore.com/products/hum-water-saver-75-gpd-reverse-osmosis-system-brushed-nickel-faucet
Ya know Berkey claims current research shows reverse osmosis:
1. Removes beneficial minerals creating an acidic solution; that Berkey doesnt
2. Cannot remove bacteria, and UV cannot remove it either from turbid water; where Berkey can
Berkey says lots of things. You might want to check out this video to learn more about RO water ruclips.net/video/JOuE2U_oCPc/видео.html They are correct that UV will not kill bacteria in turbid water which is why UV systems have pre treatment requirements to remove the turbidity and UV systems like this one from us has the turbidity pre treatment built in waterestore.com/products/hum-safe-water-10gpm-minirack-mr320e-tp2s-220
