Hi!
We've been having an issue with brown water with sediment but only after a very heavy rain. The last time we filled the hot tub the water was visibly brown and smelled weird. It's hard to describe but I guess I'd say it smelled like a lake.
My question: The fact that it only happens after a heavy rain, does that tell us anything? I'm wondering if we have a problem with our well, maybe a crack in the casing or something like that that allows some dirt to get in. Our local water guy says it's more likely either iron or limestone that's causing the water to turn brown. But if it is, why would it only happen after it rains? Do the limestone or iron get stirred up more by the rain?
Thanks in advance!
