Hi guys:
First time poster so go easy on me :)
I am in the process of buying a new construction home. I had a full water test and everything is NEW (Well, Sewage system)
The test results came back as follows. (very high Iron and manganese)

PH 7.6
Hardness--None Detected
Iron 1.21 mg/L ________ DEP Standard: .3
Manganese .088 mg/L______DEP Standard: .05
N Nitrate < 2.5 mg/L
N Nitrite < 0.1 mg/L
Total Solids 62 mg/L

I could use some help in choosing a solution. I am in my period of where I can walk away from the house contract if needed. so I am not stuck, yet.
Ive read up on this, called water companies and the amount of options and solutions are dizzying. Any solid advice would be appreciated.
Also I would think I would need a solution on my indoor water for drinking as well as my outside faucets...right ?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
The companies that sell water filters will be able to tell you what type of filter(s) you will need based on the results of the water analysis. I had an analysis done and was told that manganese needed a salt type filter,,,that was several years ago, things may have changed.
