Be careful when making on-line purchase for your water treatment needs. Well Water with high Iron content especially beware. Your water should be measured for the Iron content, Hardness and PH levels. Then a performance data sheet should be provide to show that the recommended system will function as claimed. Water with low PH can cause certain medias to not perform as stated. In some cases, low PH will dissolve media completely. ANOTHER important factor is, "Filter Media Does Not Last Forever". If claims are being made that certain filter media will last hundreds of thousands of gallons, one must put good ole common sense to use. How can claims like that be supported when well water qualities are unique and different from locations throughout the US.
Make sue you have the right size unit for your water.
Timer based water softeners and filters are no longer efficient or effective! Make sure the valve is big enough for the size of the media tank and the media being used. For a 16 inch tank a three quarter inch valve is not big enough. Three problem with these units. 1. undersized valve. 2. timer based 3. No battery back up.
