The iron in the water continually clogs the #60 (.010 opening)
filter to my well water fed heat pump furnace, forcing it to
switch to the much more expensive backup heat grid. I was
planning on adding one or two more filters in paralell with the
existing one so that I could go on a winter vacation without that
happening. Taste is ok. Smell is ok since I took out the anode
from the water heater. The red sludge nearly plugs the hydrants
outside. The well has been "shocked" twice with powdered
chlorine and "blowed" once. The stuff seems to be in the
acquafer. I may have to run the furnace feed through the water
heater which seems to totally remove the red stuff from the rest
of the house water. I appreciate the comments very much. IaGuy
