Hello everyone.
The driller for our new water well got started in the last few days and at 210 feet hit a good sand seam and started getting artesian flow at about 20 gallons a minute. This morning water was still flowing and it was crystal clear so I grabbed a sample for testing.
Well: Ph 6.65, TA 40, CH 25 or less.
Tap: Ph 8.35, TA 340, CH 25 or less.
The driller will do a full test for iron and manganese etc. once they get it valved off and quit flooding the property.
Currently I fight the high Ph and TA battle with a LOT of acid and so the low TA in the well water is appealing. However the Ph is well below pool normal. Will normal aeration bring that Ph back up to 7.6 range? I like to keep my CSI just under zero and if the Ph will rise to that range (7.6) I can hit my CSI number by raising the CH from 300 to 500 according to pool math. My pool logs are available if needed.
Thanks,
David
