Thanks for the info. I had the black stuff checked by the city and they said it is common in the wells around here and are minerals.

Frequently Asked Questions / Can I use a whole house prefilter before the tank kit?

« on: April 05, 2016, 12:57:02 PM »

I have a large tank now and will go for the kit option, but then I got to thinking that I really should have a whole house filter on the pump as the water has lots of black minerals in it. They now settle to the bottom of the existing 40gallon tank. If I do a complete shut-off of the water system and empty the tank and then restart the pump again, I get lots of black minerals flowing throughout the house until the water clears in 5-10 minutes.  Since I have a reverse osmosis system for drinking water, I don't worry about this much, but I really should have a filter on this so the new system doesn't have the same issue. My concern, though, is that the filter will slow down the flow rate too much, and I won't get the full benefit of the cycle stop valve.

Any recommendations for what type of filter I might use before the water goes into the tank?  Thanks.

Frequently Asked Questions / Can the Kit be used with Reverse Osmosis system

I have an under the counter reverse osmosis system for drinking water. Can I used the Kit or do I need a bigger tank because of the drawdown. I'm guessing the RO system will cause the pump to cycle often. Thanks. I am just about to buy a kit, but have reservations.
