Hey All, I desperately need some help on some ongoing issues I can't get a handle on. I have a fairly new home (2 years) and associated water well (3 years).
1) We have an ongoing issue with iron in the water despite having an aeration filter that is supposed to pull iron out of the water. It routinely stains the dishwasher, glasses and toilet bowls. The water is fine otherwise, tastes good and seems safe per testing but we just can't figure out what's going on with the filtering? Is better filtering needed or an entirely different filter approach? The filter used in the well house is a vertical tank that has some media in it that needs to be changed periodically.
2) Likely related to the filter mentioned above, we have micro bubbles I guess in the water (makes the water milky for a few seconds when pulling from the tap till the air settles) from the filter but this creates a problem with the hot water in that we have a really bad problem with the hot water spitting when turned on. My assumption here is that the microbubbles are settling in the hot water heater and thus creating all the air that is causing the spitting. The well guy I have talked to that installed the system is kind of at a loss in terms of what to do but this seems like something that would be super common with people on well water as this kind of aeration filtering is typical from what I understand.
Really hoping folks can help solve these problems or point me to who can help.
Thanks in advance!
