Is this kit specifically for well water only? Can I use it if my water source is not well water?

The test can get used on well water, city water, municipal water, and pretty much any water source that could be considered potable.

That would be a manufacturer question. However, I don't see why it wouldn't. The instructions are very clear. I will be purchasing a few more kits in the future.

You can use this kit to test city water. We do carry an All-in-one test kit.

Yes, this kit can be used on other sources of water; though it is designed to measure the most common contaminants in private well water supplies.

If you are on public water, it has a trace of chlorine in it and you can add it as is. If you are untreated well water, you should use distilled water and add a puritab (included) instead.

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.

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.

This unit only requires a .4 GPM flow rate to ignite. Your water pressure has little to do with it, so it will likely work just fine. That said, if your water pressure is "all over the place", you may need a new pressure tank. It has a pressurized bladder in it that helps stabilize the water pressure as the pump turns on and off. I have a well, and the water heater works great, by the way. Good luck.

The contaminants it filters are listed on the specification sheet. If they are not listed then I would assume they aren't filtered. I don't know what you mean by "bad well water". I had a domestic water well in New Mexico and had to treat the water to prevent mineral stains and red iron deposits. I used a water softening system to do that. I use the Shower Filter for our water in Marin County to filter the chemicals used by the water district. I forgot to replace the filter at six months and my skin began to break out again. Within 3 showers after replacing the filter my skin started recovering and now after about ten days it is totally clear. This reinforces the experience I had after initially installing the shower filter. My skin cleared in about two weeks. This was after several years of using prescription steroid creams and other treatments to clear my skin. I don't use anything now but a dry skin lotion.

No, System is designed for city water. Or wells with proper prefiltration no more then 300ppm before R/O. Then only good for provided faucet and maybe a ice maker. VERY GOOD SYSTEM IF INSTALLED CORRECTLY.

It must be your water. We have pretty pure well water. Try filtering first.

I'm not sure I understood your question? it works great, as a water source will be great, just make sure the water volume meets your demand

Yes. You should check the recommendations regarding filtration of non-potable water though.

not sure this unit is meant for well water probably would have to check the manufacturer's website

Yes, that is exactly my case I have water from a well, the filter works very good but the water is not been softened even when the supplier offer that.
1864983
yes to both questions - can use distilled water & not use direct water hook up

They make a 3 canister for well water. It's to combat higher levels of iron I think. I've had this system on city water for a year and absolutely love it. If you don' have iron issues this may work. I would contact the company for selection of a unit.

I have had no problem, I am using it on a water tank for my cows. The water comes from a well.

Tap water is fine. You can check your areas water quality with the water company. I would avoid well water.
