We live in rural western NY state and in this particular area the well
water
is very rusty. We have a Culligan water softener, which came with the
house,
I'm assuming it's doing it's job, but the water is still very rusty. Is
there a whole house filter of some sort that I can add to the pipe coming
in
from the well that would trap this rust before it gets through to the rest
of the house? The water tasts great, there is plenty of it, and it doesn't
smell, which we're thankful for, but this rust is all over the inside of
the
shower, toilet etc. I'm afraid to think of what it's doing to the inside
of
the pipes and the washing machine.What kind of equipment do I need to fix
this problem?

I use a whole house filter with a fine mesh insert. It should be before the
softener.
