    Default Re: brown water AGAIN

    Thank you. Colour appears to be the same in the photo.

    To answer your questions;
    +The clumps will reintegrate with the water if disturbed. Water turns brown again.
    +Yes, we have pole, vacuum head and hose.
    +In the bucket test the iron or whatever is forming "small clumps" but is still hanging suspended in the water has not settled to the bottom.

    We have 4 filters that we rotate changing every 24 hours. The last one we took out after the coffee coloured water is stained beige, but clean.
    The second (clear) bucket is a bucket test we are doing from one of our other wells. It is still clear after two days, so I we have begun to fill the pool
    with water from this well as it takes much longer to fill than from the other "big" well. The ph is lower in the water from the small well but the calcium
    and the alkalinity #'s are much lower. We are hoping this will prove to be an easier way to go.
