I have 1 well that supplies 2 homes & 2 granny units. I'm looking for people who know what to do, no guesses please. :)
Well test results:
Total alkalinity mg/l 188.1
Total hardness gpg 13
Total iron mg/l 0
Total manganese mg/l 0
pH 7.1
Total dissolved solids mg/l 270
Visual appearance clear
Nitrate (NO3) mg/l 50
We basically have hard water that is high in nitrates. We are getting differring opinions/ideas on how to proceed.
We would like to get the nitrates out. We are concerned with a softener because we don't want the sodium left for the plants/lawn & reverse osmosis wastes too much water.
Is there any way to get the nitrates out?
If we can't get nitrates out, what is the best system to go with? Would a UV filter work? Would magnets work?
Should we filter at the pump or at each house?
What are the pros/cons?
Is there a website that can explain the different methods?
If the softener is the only way, then we have to do that. But just want other views. :)
