I'm tired of spending money on solutions that don't work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Well, first I'd say that you have to realize that the drinking water
guidelines are just a measure of whether the water is safe for human
consumption. They don't mean you'll have clean, clear, mineral free
water. Frankly, all throughout reading your tale of woe, the words
"deep bored well" kept drifting through my mind.
I'm not too keen on shallow wells. The water doesn't receive enough
natural filtration to suit me. Deep water usually (not always) means
clean water. My water here comes from a 180 foot bored well. The water
is clean, clear, and cold. There is also a shallow dug well on the
property, and while it never lacks for water, the water is, well the
best word is "icky". I wouldn't drink it even though the health
department says it is safe.
i have the opposite. my dug well is great & my 185' drilled well is high
in iron and manganese & tastes nasty, even with a filter system  i
drink from the dug well & water the gardens with the drilled well. the
sulpher/iron stink isn't so bad outdoors.
