Hi, great video. My wife and I are building a Timber Frame cabin in the mountains of Arizona near Flagstaff. We will be capturing rainwater and also haul potable water to the property. No way to put a well. The table is 3200ft. down! The rainwater will have separate cistern, less filtered for general use and a cistern for the potable water hauled in. It's good water but we want to filter it to the house. 1 bath economical washer. I'm going to order from the link on this video. Thank you! Agree with you on American made for replacements.
Incredible content, Gary. We recently bought a home on well water, and there is a tank and bin that contain a chlorine solution, followed by a softener in the basement. What is this chlorine system and why would this be in the house?
Likley part of a chemcial injection system to kill bacteria and maybe chemically oxidize iron out of the water. I prefer the chemical free alternatives.
Great information Gary - thank you so much! We need a new water softener and I've done some Googling to try to find out if a Tannin filter is even REQUIRED for our well. We had our water tested and it has .48 PPM for Tannins and (strangely?) .48PPM for Magnesium, 276 Total Dissolved Solids with a Hardness of 17 ... so a softener is definitely required. But at that level is a Tannin filter even required? Thank you so much! Paul
I assume your hardness is 17 gpg not 17 ppm, is that correct? If your tannins are .48 ppm the tannin filter is optional. Does your family hate the color and staining caused by the water? If not, optional. If so, then necessary.
I have a question.I have a leaf home water solution I would like to know what do I need to change the filters.. And I would like a video if you have one of this system How to replace the system in top Step by step And I don't really understand the read out on the digital monitor
Still listening but hoping you speak to what it does to the pressure that we will see when running water. Will it decrease? Pressure is always a concern with wells.
I and most of the customers we've served for 20 years are on well water. Yes, there will be a marginal decrease in pressure but you and your family won't notice any differenece even with multiple pieces of equipment.
We have water from a well. Looking for pre filter for particulates, filtering, softening (hard water) and disinfecting. Whole house. What combinations are best. Is there a system we can install ourselves. Should we chlorinate prior to install.
Yes, we can defintiely help.

Will a specialty manganese/iron cartridge filter (4.5X20 canister) work to remove low manganese concentrations of 43 ug/L and if so, will they last 3 to 6 months? There would be a low micron sediment spindown filter up stream.
Actually I was in the Bakery industry for 38 years! But I went to College for Mechanical Engineering and I am very interested in how technology can improve home life.
@@water_estore I’m a licensed plumber and when I went through my pre test class,one of my classmates was a chemist out of MIT. He grew up under a Master plumber father. The chemist specialized in industrial water purification but needed a plumber’s license to work legally in the state of Ga. That’s how I knew you had a background beyond water filtration.
The reason for changing the filters is because they are removing chemicals and dirt from your water, only the membrane reduces the TDS. Also, replacing the filters makes the membrane last longer
Our prices are competitive especially if you consider that we offer free shipping with no minimums but giving great service and offering great products means that we often are not the best price.
Instead of competitive pricing why can't a company price off production?? You don't see any companies show the actual price they pay for it versus what they sell it for.
The website and toll-free number were pretty much useless. I am disappointed I spent time watching this very long video and now I can not even purchase the product. Very frustrating.
I'm confused by your comment. We don't have a toll free number and in what way was our website useless? What information were you looking for that you couldn't find? waterestore.com/
Because it was very long and I thought it would direct me as to which well water system to purchase, but it did not. I have no idea. I googled the brand name you mentioned and called the toll-free number provided on the internet. I can amend (soften) my comment a little, but I was hoping to get concrete information about what to buy. Thank you
Terrible advice, for some it will be $2,000, others it will be more. Depends on how bad your water is and how big of a system your family needs based on your water usage. Your best bet is to have your water tested by a lab and then complete the info on this page and we can get you a firm quote.waterestore.com/pages/free-water-test-evaluation-the-water-estore
If your water is incredibly bad you might be, but that would be very rare. Most families are in the $3500 range.

Pressure is always a concern with wells.
I and most of the customers we've served for 20 years are on well water. Yes, there will be a marginal decrease in pressure but you and your family won't notice any differenece even with multiple pieces of equipment.
Would you still recommend a Berkey filter for someone who is in the market for JUST a shower filter to filter hard water?
I don't think that it will soften your shwer water very well or for very long. I would not recommend it.

Thank you! I’m listening
Thanks for listening! Please share vuideo with friends and family.

I really don't know, it would depend on how much water you use and what else is in your water. I would check with that filters manufacturer.

What did you do before water filtration? You seem very well versed with filtration and external issues.
Actually I was in the Bakery industry for 38 years! But I went to College for Mechanical Engineering and I am very interested in how technology can improve home life.

Got it.
How many gpm does each standard size filter have? Like the 20x4.5 vs 10x2.5?
Do you mean the maximum flow rate that it can handle?
Why do you change filters if the TDS reading is better than filter based bottled water?
The reason for changing the filters is because they are removing chemicals and dirt from your water, only the membrane reduces the TDS. Also, replacing the filters makes the membrane last longer
@@water_estore so chemicals and dirt aren’t solids in your water?
Correct. They are not detected or show up in the TDS readings.@@leechaney3703
awesome info, emailing you guys now.
Sounds good!
I like how you said you’ll give us the best price, yet 35.66😮 for a pressure gauge
Our prices are competitive especially if you consider that we offer free shipping with no minimums but giving great service and offering great products means that we often are not the best price.
Instead of competitive pricing why can't a company price off production?? You don't see any companies show the actual price they pay for it versus what they sell it for.
It’s called capitalism!

I have a well water home and I already change the resin and carbon but hardness is still more than 1200 ppm I do not what to do
Is the hardness 1200 or the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 1200? I would have the hardness before and after the softener tested by a lab to confirm.
How do you change the resin?
I was told it you pay over 3500$ it's not worth it it's over selling

@@Robert-vj9gx didn't put a price tag on my well water ... taxes definitely don't deliver clean water
Seems like I would actually be spending around 7500$ for water. 🤔
