We have enjoyed great success from our water well for the past 30+ years however, the water is hard, and recently it had an off-taste (vs. the usual no taste) and we’re getting a build up on the coffee maker. So, it was obvious that the old EcoWater System softener had ceased to function properly. After researching it, I opted to go with a locally owned business in Lenoir City called Aqua Clear. We knew we needed a particulate filter and softener and since we were a little concerned about bacteria in the future, we also got a UV system to kill any potential. And while we were at it, we decided to go whole-hog and add a reverse osmosis filter (RO) under the sink for our drinking water. This is the main system that was beautifully installed.
This is the RO system and it took up a whole cabinet side.
Since the RO filter is very slow, a three-gallon storage tank is required to furnish the water as needed.
The beauty was that it forced us to clean out the un-needed
stuff under the sink.
Hopefully these systems will ensure great water for the
rest of our lives and now it’s time to clean up the coffee maker.

That water system is quite the contraption. Is it in your basement?
ReplyDeleteYes - right where the water enters the house.
DeleteIt's amazing how much difference there is in the water when you use a soft water system. Mine is totally different cause I live in a trailer but boy is it nice. Your set up looks complicated but glad you have it.
ReplyDeleteIve been wanting to do this but it was very expensive here. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI can tell that your background is in engineering judging by the description you gave of the new system and the thoroughness of your research.
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty fancy!
ReplyDeleteLarry, You certainly went all the way with this new super duper clean water system. We were lucky in that when we moved into our house, the former owners had installed a water filtration system...and it still work very well indeed. My mother's well water in Michigan that the porcelain was discolored and the faucets had mineral build up on them... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
