I have a well for my main water source. Will this stuff affect the water and make it undrinkable?

Contrary to description on Amazon, the box cautions to 'not let product runoff into waterways'. I returned mine and complained that the instructions directly contradict the description on Amazon but the haven't corrected it.

I believe the product will not effect the well but just call them up to be sure

i don't know about well water, but it is supposed to remove everything from tap water.

I don't think it will damage anything, just its filter function will be blocked. This PoolSkim is the best pool accessory I've used.

I have used it with softened well water and filtered well water and the latter works better although the former works.

Don't know the answer to that since we are on well water. I doubt it though. It's a very simple filter. Not fine or well-fitted. Works good for sediment.

i would think a cleaner of some sort. it's "waterproof" so i would guess a cleaner. never had that problem. i've only used it in a well.

No. I would recommend the well system unit. This would work on a well but the life would be severely lessened due to high iron levels.

Hi I hope you enjoy the heater as much as I do. I have a well so I put well water in it any water should work

We, too, have a well. The Berkey web site should provide the info you're looking for (it is very helpful). Please be aware that it is a purification system as well as a filter.

I am going to say it won't be effective as some of the chemicals probably leached into the ground instead of staying in the standing water. It is probably best trying to fill the pothole.

I guess I cannot help you there, we are in the country, however are served by a rural water system. The water comes from the river and is treated a lot. Well water is typically hard. you may have to change the filter more often. Hope I helped.

Technically its possible from what I saw in my installation. As far as would it be bad for plants my guess is that it will be whatever was removed from the water will be in higher concentration

My system puts out water that reads 000ppm on a quality dissolved solids meter. I would think it will remove most everything from the water.

Not easily. I'm sure it could if you soaked it for a while, but other than that, nothing noticeable.

If it is dissolved in the water, I don't believe so because that would require a chemical reaction. If it is particulate, then yes.

You don't say why you feel you have to change the filter. If it is plugging up I could be contaminants in the water like minerals and such. This could be especially true if it's your own well. If it's taste it could still be the water. I usually get at least 5 months before I start noticing degradation of the water's taste. I live in a city and the water is treated which in most cases I believe extends the life of the filter.

I used it all last year and did not have a problem. but my water is filtered, I think if you have too much calcification in your water it will be a problem. I am on well water. Bottom line it depends on your water quality.
