    Default Re: City or well for fill water

    The well water pH at 6.8 indicates some hydrogen sulfide gas. If you want to use it for adding or refilling without circulation, wait at least 6-8 hours before restarting circulation. As you don't have A SWC, the only problem I see is if there any metal parts in contact with the water. Samendolaro suggests using a PYROLOX iron filter, which I think is a great idea that I might try myself.

    BTW could you also give us your CH and CYA values as well?
