Is this filter good for well water to remove iron an minerals?

I went to Pelican's website (pelicanwater.com) and asked that question and they said no it would not work well on well water. But I think you should visit their site as they have many very good filtration products.

No, I do not think that this filter will remove any significant amount of minerals dissolved in the water; nor does it "purify" water.

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.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

The filter is designed to filter water to remove a long list of contaminates. It does not matter if it is city water or well water. The same principle of water filtration is used to filter water from streams and unpurified sources.

It does not say minerals are removed, either on their website or in the user sheet which came with the filter. But it works just fine for drinking water. Minerals must usually be removed by steam distillation. I'd stick with distilled water for the humidifier until you are sure.

According to page 6 of the WaterBoss Owner's Manual issued 9/2/2009 (WB_Softener_v7.2_Manual), the only type of iron that can be treated with a water softener is Ferrous Iron (sometimes called clear water or dissolved iron). Model 900-IF (Iron Filter $399.00 at Home Depot)-Reduces iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and iron bacteria. The WaterBoss 220 does improve our water quality but does still leave a little rust colored water in our water distiller (we have not a lot of iron but quite a bit of manganese). It also eliminates the sulfur smells.

i am very happy with this filter system. i have well water and have not been able to drink the water for a long time. after we installed this system our water is drinkable now. the company was the best with help on any question we had and so friendly. YES I would recommend this to anyone that has well water. we have tested the water now 2 different time and very happy with the result.

the filter has a carbon core which generally works fine for catching mild to medium sulfur. however, i can't say i have tried it. i do know that it will not catch iron which i don't think carbon is meant to catch. in any case we had massive amounts of iron.

I don't think so. This filter is mainly to filter out small particles.Filters for removing water are usually larger and more complex.

If you have really high iron, higher than 5-6 ppm, then you should use a separate iron filter in line first. The air injection platinum iron filter or filox iron filter, followed by a water softener. Visit afwfilters for more info on those. Mark 785-735-9769

Yes, I believe so - I researched different filters and this one was the best at removing metals and other contaminants.

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

No. If you are unsure of the correct filter to use in this quality filter housing, call 3M (the manufacturer) at (888) 364-3577. Ask to speak to a technical support rep. Explain your situation, i.e., well water or city water, and what you want to filter out of your water, such as iron, manganese, etc. These filters are excellent products and can last at least a year in a typical household's usage.

It uses a fine mesh resin for softening and iron removal. Give us a call 785-735-9769 so we can better explain this system and go over your water treatment needs to direct you to some options that may work for your water. AFW Filters

This filter is designed to remove calcium and mineral deposits that can solidify when water is quickly heated in a tankless hot water heater system. If you have hard water and you feel it would create a problem in a spa system, I don't see any reason you couldn't use this filter. However, it's main purpose is not sediment filtration.

I use it for my garden to filter out chlorine and heavy metals. It is a carbon based filter so it should soften up water too. I would recommend shopping for a filter that specialized for hard water if that's what you are looking for.
