Sounds elegantly simple. Convincing my wife to go low tech won't be.

Thanks

NOW you should have a bacteria problem. lol All that water open to the air isn't much different/better than a spring along the road...

I left one choice out, a pellet dropper on the well casing and a Centair carbon filter in the house to remove any 'dirt' and the chlorine from the water.

Ya know The Culligan Man will require you to pay some toward all their flashy ads... but call 'em out and write down everything the say so you can compare. Beware that they talk fast to prevent that. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Treated water exposed to the open air is not a problem. You will loose residual chlorine more quickly for sure. I have been to municipal drinking water systems where finished water sets in a reservoir with a roof and screened sides to keep the big chunks out.

Of course you assume that the chlorine dose is adequate where I on the other hand have dealt with many users of solution feeders and know human nature well enough to bet that most aren't adequate most of the time. Water company employees are much different than the average homeowner (not to include CharlieTN for sure) when it comes to maintenance issues such as frequent testing for free chlorine residual. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I am sure I will not have open water. Even if I wanted to Wife would not allow it <G> I have some pros coming by and I will pick their brains before they pick my wallet.

Thanks

I like to bake bread. Water quality is a major issue for me.
I would like to think that since so many people are on wells by me that there should be a pretty standard solution.

Probably wishful thinking.

Yes the majority of women won't see things as many men might.

In a rock bore well, as opposed to a fuly cased and screened sand and gravel aquafer well, water quality can vary greatly from one well to the next only 100+' away. It's due to the geology the well goes down through.

In addition to that, there are different types of equipment and ways to treat different causes of poor quality if the problem is such that more than a softener is needed. But the quality of the treated water is usually about the same.
