Hey Everyone,
I just bought a new home and move in on February 27th. My prior home was in the city suburbs and I was on city water. The new home is more rural and uses well water. My RO system is the premium RO system from Buckeye. I have also been using a pressure tank and a permeate pump. Given I have 0 experience with well water, I’m looking for advice. My RO system has a sediment filter, carbon block, and RO membrane. I would think I don’t need the carbon block on well water? If that is correct, do I simply remove the carbon block and leave that container empty? What about water pressure? My city water was high pressure, I assume the well is less so. I will test the pressure after I move in. The well at the home has the type of pump that is in the basement of the home, not in the ground. There is a blue storage container for the water as well. Idk how many gallons the tank is but I would guess 30-60 gallons. I don’t know anything about the water quality. Any thoughts, suggestions, tips are appreciated.
