Such an incredible find! Our place is in Oregon and even though west of the Cascades there's supposed to be plenty of water, our neighbors' wells are declining in their flow. Since it rains all winter long we've elected NOT to drill a well as the cost of drilling them has gone up quite a bit and there's a one year waiting list to have it drilled anyway! Instead we have 25,000 gallons of water storage tanks to collect all the water coming off the roofs of our buildings on site. In the end we'll be saving money and be more water secure than our neighbors I suspect. We're still building the house and will need to add water filtration and sterilization as well as an ozone generator (or something similar) to keep the water fresh and oxygenated. All we have to worry about is getting through our hot dry summers because we have hundreds of thousands of gallons falling on our roofs over the winter.
Well done. I know your smart and will do a good job. Side note. One of my best friends dies 3 years ago. He got ecoli from his well. It took about 7 months to get him. Doctors could do absolutely nothing. Clean water is life. Dirty water is death.
1st step is to test your water to see what is in it. That will chart your coarse moving forward. Then you can filter and disinfect ( we don’t) as needed. Good practice is to test at least annually.
Looking forward to the longer video
Have you had it tested to see if it’s drinkable? Because there are filtering systems that you can use to drink it.
Excellent !
Idk anything about well so dont listen to me but it seems easier to pump and store the water then treat it in storage
What makes you think you need to treat it? just curious
Use Heavy Sediment filter then run though Reverse osmosis system for well water.
I used an in stream chemical pump from hogslat (ag store in Georgia that supplies local pig farming) between my well head and pressure tank that injects 1 ounce per gallon when the well pump runs. Being mechanically driven, metered and using A Venturi syphon from a 5gal water cooler jug seemed like a good way to make sure nothing leaked and overdosed the water. I think I was doing 2 ounces of pool bleach (5%) per gallon in the jug that fed the injector an ounce per gallon to make the dissolved iron unbond from the water so it could be filtered out by a self cleaning water softener then ran 3 cartridge style inline filters to remove the bleach odor and remaining iron. Would’ve liked a storage tank before filters for treatment contact time but I was living in Michigan at the time and they require permits and inspections for anything larger than the pump house I put in to hold the chem injection pump and feeder jug and a lightbulb to keep from freezing in winter.
You need to be putting on some more programs.
Water treatment is relatively easy. Shallow well should be treated. Filters for sediments, storage tank with a chlorinator would kill all parasites and bacteria.
Just get a ro system for potable. For any other use use some filters and use it however you want.
I’d go with a UV light filter in addition to another treatment method. They make LED UV light filters now too, save your batteries! Can’t wait to see more on this!
Looks clean...its not proof, but its a + indicator........😅
4 step filtration process! 10 micron, a carbon filter, reverse osmosis, then a UV light. You can filter more to improve the taste or get a water softener to make the water softer, but the 4 step process is a good way to have clean drinking water.
Before you treat it, get it tested. You need to know what metals are present before you start putting gallons of that into your body.
Start with a uv light and a sediment filter... Go nuts from there. I'd never trust a sand well.
Reverse Osmosis? Instead of chlorine. 😊
