I’m wondering if any of our members is knowledgeable about water purification & testing.
I’m considering purchasing a house with a water well. I’m told that the water has (excessive?) mineral content, however a neighbour has a osmosis system to treat this. I’m wondering if this is all that is generally needed to clean up a well water.
I would want to test the water regularly to ensure it remains safe, is this something one can do at home, or is this strictly a job for a specialised lab.
Any ideas of the cost of water purification & testing would be good too.
The house also has a potable supply, and a irrigation feed, but the well water is free. So, it would be good to use it if it can be made safe & pleasant.
