Selling my old house and the buyers had the well tested. Cam back high in iron - .3ppm over the limit, and turbidity - 13.5 ntu and the limit is 1 ntu.
Now the kicker is, they tested the house bib outside....which doesn't run through the sediment filter or water softener. They're supposed to be coming back to take another sample inside.
I'm fairly sure the softener will take care of the iron as it's well within the treatable range, but I'm not really sure if the sediment filter and/or softener will reduce the turbidity enough. I've always run a 35 micron "yarn" filter in it, but can drop in a 5 micron charcoal cartridge if it'd help.
Anyone dealt with it lately? Will a typical cartridge filter reduce turbidity that much?
