Water Filters Systems
Filter Systems for Well Water ?
So my family is building a lake cabin and my Dad asked me to figure out the well water filtering system.
None of us know much about filters for water, but he’s thinking he wants two filters. One is for the high iron concentrations, because there’s a lot of iron and other metals in the water, and we of course don’t want that because it stains everything a reddish color. As for the second filter, it would just be to filter out any bacterial and viral things, or anything else harmful in the water.
He roughly estimated it would probably be around $2,000 and I’m guessing that as long as it’s not too high of a price, we can afford it.
But I’m wondering where to start with this, like, which filters should I be looking at ? Which ones will work better for our requirements ? Which would be too expensive ? Are there any that can do what I specifically what I want ?
It would be great if I could get some help. 
Can you go to anybody elses home at the lake and see what they use? How well does it work, and etc? Or call a company who sells these units and have them come in and explain their systems and what you will need based on your requirements and water quality. They are the experts. Also, if you want, don’t buy the system at first. Just rent it and see if it works to your satisfaction. Give it several months before deciding. When you rent a system, they have to come in and check it periodically. That is a plus because then you will know that the maintenance is being performed on it properly. Good luck.

Fit and Fresh Filtered Water Bottle – Replacement Filters, 1 ea $6.62 The Fit & Fresh LivPURE™ Filter helps make ordinary tap water taste like the bottled water you buy in stores, but how does it work? To answer that question, you first need to know how tap water ends up tasting different from place to place. Ordinary tap water in the U.S. is perfectly safe to drink, but consumers often think it tastes "funny" or "bad". Sometimes people even say it smells "strange". The elements in tap water vary from area to area all over the country, but one of the main elements that greatly affects the taste of tap water is chlorine. The Fit & Fresh LivPURE™ Filter uses a two stage filtration process to make ordinary tap water taste like bottled water. In the first stage of the Fit & Fresh LivPURE™ filtration process, the water passes through a Granular Activated Carbon filter media. The carbon works like a sponge removing up to 50% of the chlorine from up to 75 gallons of water. Most people agree removing chlorine helps to make the water smell and taste better. The second stage of the two stage process inhibits the growth of bacteria that may have found its way into your water. As I said before, water coming from your tap is generally safe to drink. However, once a typical filter is exposed to water, bacteria is introduced to the system through air, contaminated surfaces and the act of drinking itself. Sitting at your desk at work or on your nightstand, this bacteria will grow at an exponential rate (for non-scientists, that means "very fast"). The Fit & Fresh LivPURE™ Filter offers anti-microbial protection to inhibit the growth of several common bacteria, within the filter, by suppressing the food source these bacteria need to survive. The best part of the Fit & Fresh LivPURE™ Filter design is that it does all of this as the water passes out of the bottle; giving you the cleanest and best tasting water possible. |
