Sediment Filter: Well Water
We have a 125' well with a submersible pump. Occasionally, we get some fine
silt in the water, either white or rusty, but not enough to cause any problems. The old pump died last weekend after 25 years of service so we had a new one put in. Unfortunately, this stirred up all sorts of sediment in the lines and we've had frequent spells of orange or murky water. I've been thinking of putting in some sort of filter on the main inlet and found several options on the web through a Google search. What I'd like is some sort of tank where the water goes through a filter, allowing fine particles to be trapped and sink to the bottom. It should be large enough so that I only have to change or clean the filter every month or so. A filter that can be cleaned and re-used would be preferable to a disposable. Has anyone had experience with this sort of thing? Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. Paul |
