Okay, so I’ve been dealing with this rusty water situation in my well for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s been a real pain. I figured I’d share my experience and what I did to fix it, hoping it might help someone else out there.
First off, I noticed the water was looking pretty bad – all orange and cloudy. And the taste? Don’t even get me started. It was like drinking a mouthful of pennies. Plus, it was staining everything: my sinks, my clothes, even my hair after a shower. I knew I had to do something about it.
My Battle Plan
- Figured out the problem – too much iron.
- Looked up a bunch of ways to get rid of it.
- Decided to go with a hydrogen peroxide system ’cause it seemed like the best option.
So, I got this hydrogen peroxide injection system. It was a bit of a hassle to set up, I won’t lie. I had to call a friend who knows about these things to help me out. We spent a whole Saturday afternoon messing with pipes and stuff, but we finally got it up and running.
After we installed the system, I ran the water for a while to clear out the old rusty stuff. Then, I waited. It took some time, but slowly but surely, I started seeing a difference. The water became clearer, and the taste improved a lot. It wasn’t perfect overnight, but it was definitely getting better.
It’s been a few months now, and I can honestly say the water is so much better. No more orange stains, and I can actually drink it without making a face. It wasn’t the easiest fix, but it was definitely worth the effort. So, if you’re dealing with rusty well water, don’t lose hope! There are ways to fix it, and a hydrogen peroxide system might just be the answer you’re looking for.
