Instar: I didn't write down the names of the studies, I found them on the internet google searching "safe iron levels in water".

I know I've seen your posts here and was hoping some one with hands-on experience and techinical knowledge would chime in. Looks like I have large amounts of Iron in the well, my stand pipe and filler nozzle are getting heavily stained, there is a noticable yellow tinge to a clear glass of pond water and my middle day PH today was 9.0.

I have tasted the well water and there is noticeable fowl flavor but I didn't think it was that bad. Will get tests tuesday, will not top off any more till then.
