Another water well question

[RiverRat1]

We have a house on the Nueces River and the well water is very hard (really really hard). To me it tastes salty.

Curious if most well water can be filtered to make potable. And if so what types of systems do that and roughly how much do they cost? Are they easy to maintain?

we put one in last year - sent the water off to get analysis of what all was in it - we were lucky in that the water was excellent.

Yes you can buy filters but I would have it tested first - make sure there are no residual pesticides, etc.

I used a meter I bought on Amazon to get tds
It was like 2000 plus

I use a big blue inline filter and water is much improved and filters are cheap

Well water at our lease in Webb county is as salty as Galveston bay... Is there a filter system that will remove dissolved salts like that?

I ordered a filter on Sunday, it should be here today.

I also added on the water conditioner. $2001 to my door.
I'll let you know how it works after it's running for a few weeks.

I just had a filtration system installed. My issue was bacterial iron in the water. My filter guy said any water can be filtered to be potable.

It’s important to find out what’s actually in it, but if its mainly hardness, then a good high-capacity softener with a pre-filter to catch the big solids will probably make it at least drinkable.

Reverse osmosis filter.

How do you like it?

Years ago when we moved to Bayside, our water was very salty, although very soft. We installed an under sink reverse osmosis system and it worked great! With hard water, you might need to consider also adding a softener system also if you choose the RO system. Just saying

What is the capacity of the unit you installed? Any link or lead as to brand/model/cost??
Thx!
We BADLY need one at our deer camp!! Speckled trout would thrive in the Pilars on the ranch the water is so salty!!
