Notes on Well Water

Overview

The well water system, atleast in our house, consists of the following components:

  • The Well - Source for the ground water
  • Motor - this gets the water into the house
  • Pressure Tank - gives pressure to the water entering the house
  • Filters - depending on your water content, a set of filters in series purifies the water before sending it to the house
    • Sedement Filter: - This comes first, and removes the largest particles in the water (~25um)
    • Active Carbon: - We don’t have this yet, but from what I am reading, this removes smell in the water (like sulfur) if the amount is small enough.
    • Water Softener: - This removes hard minerals from the water, and the outcoming water is softer and easier on our skin

The plumbing, in our house atleast, uses PVC piping.
