    Well Water

    I would stop adding chemicals. That's what HTH told me. Each different chemical will react different with the iron. They told me it doesn't matter what my chemical levels are at, until I get the iron problem under control it's a waste. As mentioned above I stopped ALL chemicals and followed the...

    Iron Problem .... Will this ever end??
