I have bad well water. Does it filter everything out?

If you check the Internet for comparisons of water filters, Aqusana gets the highest rating for all particulates in the water. It does not get the highest rating for chlorine, though. But with well water, your main concern is overall particulates in the water.

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.

The iron comes out but it clogs the filters pretty quickly. We have lots of iron in our well water.

It comes with one filter. If the water in your area is really bad, the filter will not last long & it will start giving the water a really sour taste.

Hi Judith . Does your machine use this type of filter ? If yes, the filter should go into a filter holder in the water supply tank. Follow the instructions about soaking the filter in clean water for a short time and then rinsing it with clean water prior to installing. It's an easy procedure..

I don't. Does your fountain have a filter and if so, is it filtering out the Oratene?

The website says plain tap water and every tap water has different mineral contents so I imagine well water would be fine. If you want to be 100% certain I would contact the manufacturer.

Normally not. The unit has a onboard filter included. You can always call us at 1 800 560-0436 to consult with a representative about your water quality.

No, it does not! Protec keeps the water clean! But I filter my water thru a PUR filter and my Calcium and other mineral build-up is non existent now!

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

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.

Yes. A filter is unnecessary. However, depending on whether your water source is full of minerals or organics, you might want to add a filter. I added a filter.

No. It does not. The filter works great in all respects. I have very bad well water so I change it once a month. One time I went way too long to change it and then yes, my water flow decreased. But that was my own fault.

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 doesn't seem to have a filter. You fill the tank and the water comes out

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

It depends on what you wouldn't normally drink. If you mean tap water that has too much chlorine or well water that has too much gravel, yes, it will filter out odor and tastes you don't want. I use one in my kitchen for drinking water as my city water is heavily chlorinated. My sister uses one at her house because her well water is a bit muddy. It works for both of us.
