Reviving an old thread. I also have an iron bacteria problem in my well. My RO took care of the drinking water but the non-treated water was so infected that I couldn't sanitize consistently and I had a couple of infected batches.
Shock chlorinated well and house. Hopefully that has fixed it. Regardless, water is much better for all non-brewing use.
As you might imagine, the iron and the iron bacteria will make a mess of an RO membrane.
