It really all depends on how bad the source water is.

Testing that 1st will let you know what you need.

We did test, I can't remember where we put the results.

Very hard. Lots of iron. Lots of silicates. Surprisingly enough some fluoride. That's all I remember off the top of my head.

Beautiful fish... terrible name...

Gudgeon... Sounds like a utensil you'd clean a stove with.

Fluoride is common in drinking water systems. Some actually put it in the water, most already have it, and it's really only removed if it's over (or close to) the MCL (maximum contaminant level). There is some debate on whether or not fluoride should be in th drinking water since scientists have said no fluoride is bad for teeth, too much is bad for overall health

Or a tool to dispatch someone or something...

I was always told it was added because there was not enough or any in the water systems here. But there definitely is.

Softener salt will take care of a good degree of this.

won't that increase salt use by 1/3 or more ?

There's specific salts for iron heavy water. Maybe 50 cents more a bag.

Cafe, are there different Duncan types?

Last order I got a new Duncan in. I have one other in this same tank that's different/normal. This one particular Duncan only opens at first light, closes all day, then opens again when lights ramp down.

The other Duncan behaves normally. Closed at night, opens during the day.

Is this night Duncan supposed to do that? Do I have a special one?

Lights just came on for this picture, it's beginning to close up for the day. Other Duncan to the left is still closed, will be opening soon.

Thanks all. I'm going to try to find the results we got to see if a whole house filter will even be necessary. I'll share when I get home if I can find the info....
