Mike, thanks for the words of caution. Last year I ran an estimated 6+ million gallons of water thru my house well. It DID bring some iron to the well, but not enough that I have to run any filtration system or even a water softner on the house.

Nothing near like what the water was thru the shallow well a few years ago! That'd leave orange residue on trees if they were irrigated.
