I live in a rural area with horrible water from our local public water source. Sometimes we even put off bathing due to very, very high chlorine and/or rust till it clears. Obviously we cannot drink this water and we pay to have a local company bring us 5 gal jugs of water so we have drinking water. I just discovered that these 5 gal jugs are coming in #7 plastic jugs which leach BPA that they are warning people about in baby bottles and etc.(i.e. anything your children drink out of)…Sooo…does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to change this? This is better than our tap (yes we have a whole house filtering system but no system can eliminate the large amounts of rust a chlorine bleach they put in the water so we cannot use a house system as an alternative ( or a PUR filter, trust me they can’t do that kind of volume) and we cannot yet afford a well even though I’d love one in the future…any ideas??? Does anyone use a company for water delievery in 5 gal jugs that doesn’t use #7 bottles with BPA in them? Thanks for any ideas!

House is 4700 sf
water line into the house is 3/4"
we have a culligan whole house filtering system.
The area is considered a high psi area so psi isn’t the problem

i am starting to drink alot more water and need to have it going through a filtering system first to purify. i’ve had the pitchers that want you to change filters on every time to turn around and not sure about the ones that hook onto the sink faucet so is there anything else out here that people like other than buying bottled

We have a well that produces good water, but at different times of the year, the water becomes cloudy, brown, etc. The well is nowhere near the septic tank, of course, so any filtering system that contains a backflush process is out of the question…nowhere for the waste water to go.

The system has a pressure pump (set to 55 PSI) and a large accumulator tank. From there, the 2" pipe goes to irrigation and to the house. I know I’ll have to re-plumb most of that to separate the outside from the house water. What kind of filter do I need? There are only 2 of us, so our use isn’t huge. I just want to keep the discoloration and scale down. This is Oregon and the water is fairly good. We will continue to use either Brita or a filter for the drinking water. There seems to be a very wide range of products from to well over 00. I just want to find something that works. Not sure if I need to worry about UV??? Thanks
I’ve used Culligan elsewhere. Overpriced to say the least, but that system requires backflush…where the flushing water must go into a septic tank/sewer…which is not accessible.

County doesn’t provide a testing service here…
The output of the pump and accumulator goes directly into the concrete of the well-house. Two pipes…one for irrigation and one for the house. They are connected with no backflow device as they are inside the building. Pipe now goes to a valve then Ts to the house line (in concrete) and to a 2nd valve that Ts to the irrigation line (in concrete) and to a faucet attached to the outside.

I need to re-plumb so I have more control (to turn off house but leave on irrigation, etc), and I can figure that out…but where and how and what sort of backflush relief can I get…and I don’t want the released water to fall inside the wellhouse. Any links to what I need to buy/do? Thanks…backflush is clearly a concern now..

I was going to order a reverse osmosis system today to replace bottle waters, but I saw that artical about prescription drugs in city water today. Would a reverse osmosis system filter the drugs out?
I’ve read that bottle water may not be safer than tap water, now I’m at a loss of what is the safest water for my baby. Any idea what’s is the purest water available? what’s the best filtering system?
I boycott PUR, they belong to Proctor & Gamble which still does cruel animal testing for no good reason.
I’m in Orlando, Florida
