Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Researching iron filtration for fish rearing.

Cecil,

You just described our well water perfectly.

We have a Kinetico 2100F OD Overdrive filter with macrolite media. It works great. We started out with just a water softener but that wasn't getting it done so we added the filter before the softener. I don't recall what we paid but, you're right, it wasn't cheap.

I use water straight from the well for my little aquarium setup. For water changes I fill a 5 gallon bucket and let a simple box filter filled with filter floss run in it for several hours and that clears it up well before adding to a tank.
