Is this for well water?

It can filter both city water and well water. It doesn't filter out virus and bacteria, though. For well water, a whole house UV stage (#UVF55) is recommended if bio contamination is concerned.

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes fluoride.

Have well water - no issues with spots. Been installed since July 13. Love it.

It filters the water as it draws it from the resouvor. I would recommend it, especially for well water. Hope this helps!

This system may, or may not work for your well water. If you have well water, the very first place to start, before buying any treatment equipment is with a water test. If you have already had your water tested, then please share those results with us so we can make a recommendation. We also have tests available. Please contact us for support 1-877-693-7873 M-F 9am to 5pm Mountain Standard Time.

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.

That is what we are using it for. We have coliform bacteria in our well and since we've been using this the bacteria is gone.

Since I'm on a well with a lot of minerals, I use distilled water. Actually, I think the directions state that you should use distilled water.

No, this is for aquarium filtration, although if you had enough stages it would filter water. This filter media is very porous for bacteria cultures to live in to enhance aquarium filtration.

I would think so, although I will not purchase another one. I have filtered well water and it does not perform well, we have to press the start button twice to get a full cup of coffee.

I assume you could use it for that it is made for hydroponic applications but with the right fittings from lowes it would work. There might be cheaper alternatives though for drinking water it is something you should probably look into first

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.

I use it for my well for the house not for sprinklers. I do have a deep well

Yes it is. It has a Reboil option on it for existing water but I suggest changing the unused water daily for sanitary reasons.

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

I can't say for sure but I don't think so. It's more for chlorine and sediments. It improved the taste of our tap water.

I used to be on well water and I wouldn't have hesitated to use the LifeForce on it. You do want to make sure that your water doesn't have a lot of metals, calcium or other possible 'contaminants' or you could end up with some pretty funky Colloidal Silver.
