Removing Rust From Well Water

RE: Removing Rust From Well Water By susan (Guest Post) My mom has rust in her well water, the water is tinted rust color and if you can't drink it, it tastes like rust. She has a water filter on the kitchen sink and that helps. The bathtub is stained as well as the toilet. The beautician says my mom's hair has an orange tint to it. What can we do other then drill a new well? Posted on 01/29/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Rust From Well Water By judysnyder55 AT yahoo.com (Guest Post) I desperately need help. There is a water softener full of rust reducing salt, but the water is still rusty. My clothes are staining, it's gross to do dishes and bathe. The landlord has me stirring it in the softener. The softener is full of the same pellets for the 4 months I have lived here. What do I do? Frankly, my rent is due and I am reluctant to pay it.

The water softener is needed because rust will ruin appliances and ruin clothes also. However they have several brand's of thing's to take the rust out of thing's in fact one of them is called Rust Out. However you must read the back of the boxes to make sure you are buying the right one for your particular problem.Good luck I went nuts till we had our water softener installed the rust was unbelieveable!

I have bought the Sears water softner and does really well. You can take a sample of water to sears and they will test for you to see what level of rust and hardness it is for FREE. I buy salt from tractor supply or aldi etc. No need spending big money on it. I still cannot use bleach but NO rusty sink , toliets etc. Good Luck Posted on 10/10/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Rust From Well Water By U*u*U (Guest Post) You need a filtering media called "KDF". It is the ONLY thing that will remove rust and not just camouflage it. (I'm in the water business) Don't be talked into a reverse osmosis purification system. Rust will foul the membranes.

This took all the rust streaks out. Posted on 10/09/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
