    In my experience, it would be extraordinary for water like that to contain iron . . . and it's very unlikely that that water would cause iron to rust much, either.

    I'm not sure what's going on -- I'll very interested to see the test results on the samples you sent in. Meanwhile, just chlorinate and filter. Seriously, a clean white 5 gallon bucket, filled with 4 gallons of tap water will tell you a lot. Add a teaspoon of bleach each day, and stir. See what settles out.

    Sorry you're having challenges with your pregnancy -- hopefully, it won't get too hot before you deliver!

    Thank you. I had two spinal fusions and a discectomy so I have a hard time carrying the extra weight. I'll get through it but can tell when I've over done it, lol. Anyway I will do the bucket thing as soon as I can. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for your help.
    Intex 16'x32'x52" model #54985 with ~14,500 gallons, filled with iron contaminated well water.
