This is literally the exact video I needed. I love doing things myself that I have no right doing - like installing a system like this. But I feel I am robbing my life when I dont do things like this to my own home! Thanks for this awesome information - I will definitely be reaching out. :D
@@Freshnss I actually do have a question….It was mentioned it’s best to hv the hydrogen peroxide injection point after the well pressure tank. You actually use more H202 if you have it prior to the pressure tank. I’m just curious why that is? My injection point is just before my pressure tank. Like 8”. If I go through the work to move the T fitting to the pvc on the outgoing side of my pressure tank before it enters my carbon filter n softener what am I gaining? Thank you for anything you can share
I don,t know the iron levels, have shocked the well 2 times in the last 5 years. The well has a pretty bad Iron problem. (rust coloured muck) when emptying, I don,t want to shock the well more often and I just want to solve this stain in my toilet by more filtration possibly. I Would rather not change my cartidges more often either . Thanks
Thanks for the follow up info. We really need to know the specific iron and bacteria levels to prescribe the right treatment. As we mention in the video, it is like going to the doctor, you need do have the analysis first. So I would suggest starting with a well water test. We have a couple of options here: freshnss.com/water-test-kits/well-water-test-kits/ Then we will know for sure what you need. But in general, adding more and more sediment filters is not going to be the right solution.
You can always use the bypass for any properly installed filtration or treatment system. However, keep in mind that you would have to clear all the standing water in the pipes which could be very wasteful. A better option would be to use a spigot available before your treatment systems. If you didn't have one already, you could ensure that a plumber installs one during any system installation.
Technically, yes. Legally, you need to check where you live. Many states will not allow a well to be connected to the municipal source for fear of backflow even if you plumbed it with a bypass or switch.
We have 23 ppb of arsenic and limit is 10 ppb, for now till we come up with a solution we are using bottled water. Can you help with coming up with a solution?
Hey There - here are the best options for your arsenic. The Crystal Quest is the best whole house filter for arsenic that will remove other contaminants like VOCs in the pre & post filters too. You can also add the softener if you have hard water or light iron/magnesium/sulfer issues. Check that option here: crystalquest.com/discount/FRESH5?redirect=/collections/arsenic-removal/products/arsenic-whole-house-water-filter?aff=222 Alternatively, you can go with a point of use reverse osmosis. Your best option for this is the Home Master that is specifically designed for well water (not many RO are well equipped for well water). This will do an excelent job removing arsenic and most other contaminants from your drinking water. Check that out here: bit.ly/3dUhhu8 If you want the best protection, a lot of people will go with a whole house filter and also add the RO at the kitchen sink. If you want to send me your entire water test results, we can double check to make sure this is the best solution for your water, just email me at erik (at) freshnss.com
I use a 20 micron and 5 micron in line (2 sediment filters) and still get some iron staining in one of my toilets. My well water is pretty good other than Iron . Could I add another 20 micron or 5 micron or a 30 micron to clean up this Iron problem ? (3 sediment filters in line) I don,t have a treatment system and don,t want or need . Thanks
Hey there! Have you tested your water or know what your iron or bacteria levels are? Have you done a disinfection treatment (shock your well) in the last 12 months? You say you don’t want an oxidation system, but it may be the best solution.
My well water taste very good and looks clear. No smell at all. Had a local outfit send off a big test and it looks good to me. Manganese is a little elevated but not much. We have a dark sediment that accumulates at toilet jets and the inside of our toilet tanks are stained black, our water guy, WaterWorks Pump and Well in Covington LA thinks it's from the manganese. The service men they send out have little or no training except for being able to check pumps and service the filters they sell. I placed a spin down sediment filter after the pressure tanks, I have one old and one newer tank, the older does not have a bladder I am told and I believe it has air in the system because a small bleeder hole is required in the roll pipe that goes down to my submersible pump. Any suggestions?
Difficult to diagnose in a comment. If you can send us more details and photos via email on our website we can try to help more. It doesn't take much manganese to cause staining, below the epa limits will do it. A spin-down won't help with manganese. Non-bladder pressure tanks should still have a valve, not just a bleeder hole, but not sure why the tanks are relevant?
Hey there! It would have to be extremely hard, for the most part, there are systems available at any hardness level for you. What is your hardness for your water?
Will hydrogen peroxide, remove iron bacteria? I’m getting ready to install a chlorine injection system that now three experts from three different companies have told me I need but if hydrogen peroxide would kill iron bacteria, I would prefer to use that.
For sure, keep us posted! If you also go to the webpage for the Hydrogen Peroxode system, there should be a chat with support where they can help you out too. Try here: bit.ly/3KrMVh1
Previous owners (just bought a house) recently opted for the hydro pneumatic GALVANIZED TANK! Cheap bastards!!!!! Right before selling… then we still had to pay for a new well and motor etc
I have had a hydrogen peroxide injection system with a stenner pump for 15+ years. Does the job. As with any system it needs maintenance occasionally as parts wear out. I’m here getting a refresher. IMO No sales pitch here just knowledge. Thank you for sharing your expertise
Hey, w, did you forget where you're living? It's America, everybody's selling something. The question is, is what they're selling any good, that's the only question you need to ask yourself.
Have been in this house for 8 years and only recently started to have some discoloration of the water. No system or filtration in place today but got the water tested and need to figure out what solutions to purchase. Parameter Result Pass/Fail/Acceptable RL Bacteria-Total Coliform Present Fail 1 Bacteria - E-Coli Absent Pass 1 Nitrate + Nitrite as N 2.6 Pass 0.5 Nitrite - N Not Detected Pass 0.1 Lead, Total 0.0158 Fail 0.002 Iron, Total Not Detected Acceptable 0.05 Turbidity .9 Pass 0.5 pH 6.5 None 1
Definitely look to get that replaced. We cover the negatives of using old galvanized tanks in the video. They present a number of issues for well water treatment.

Can we use the bypass valve when we use house water to water plants?
You can always use the bypass for any properly installed filtration or treatment system.

If you didn't have one already, you could ensure that a plumber installs one during any system installation.
Can we run a well as back up when the city water goes down? Is there like a convenient switch I can have installed?
Technically, yes. Legally, you need to check where you live. Many states will not allow a well to be connected to the municipal source for fear of backflow even if you plumbed it with a bypass or switch.

Hi Scott - Yes, Hydrogen Peroxide would be preferable over chlorine injection! But also a UV system would be a good idea to add.

@@Freshnss How does UV affect a septic system
A UV light treats water as it enters your home, so it does not affect the bacteria (good or bad) that are harbored in your septic system.
Previous owners (just bought a house) recently opted for the hydro pneumatic GALVANIZED TANK! Cheap bastards!!!!! Right before selling… then we still had to pay for a new well and motor etc
Oh no! That sounds like a very disappointing situation. Hope you got it squared away!
I clicked on this video to learn. Not to listen to a sales pitch. Definately would not subscribe to your channel.
Lol…Mark is one of the best water treatment specialist in the world.
Same for me. Just a bunch of sales. Not worth the time to watch this.

I just bought a home with well water and I believe that I have a galvanized tank. Should I replace it asap or wait until it fails?
Definitely look to get that replaced. We cover the negatives of using old galvanized tanks in the video. They present a number of issues for well water treatment.
Just get a PVC liner installed
Pretty sure I have no filter or sediment thingy 😢
You don't always need one, but it doesn't hurt.
