Good afternoon! Tell me, please, which pump should I choose for a 16 meter well with a high iron content in water (exceeds 1000 times the norm)? Water analysis results: Iron 3.3 mg / dm.cub., Sulfates 1095 mg / dm.cub., Total hardness 20.7, dry residue 1905 mg / dm.cub. And are there any household filters for such water and which ones? Thank you in advance.

    Hello!

    The quality of your well water is really very poor. Such water can only be used for technical purposes. For household needs and watering it is not suitable. Unfortunately, today not one manufacturer in Russia and abroad does not produce specialized household pumps for water with such physicochemical parameters.

    The correct solution in this case is to completely change the point of intake. If this is not possible, and you plan to buy a pump no matter what, then choose a device with a stainless steel housing. This unit will last longer. You can often find tips on the net that say that hard water pumps can be used for contaminated water. This is not true! Fecal, drainage, sewage pumps retain only suspended particles. They do not reduce the content of iron and salts in water.

    To improve the quality of water, you can purchase a deferrization station (average cost from 60 thousand rubles) and a filter with ion exchange or reverse osmosis (cost from 20 thousand rubles). Please note that annual maintenance of filters with such a low quality of water will cost you more than their cost.

    Please tell me which pump can be installed for a well of 15 m. Water 1.2m. Shake while vibrating. Clay comes from time to time (I think it’s from vibration). Water for watering the site.

    I want something with a capacity of 1 t / h. On the site of drip irrigation - 170 m / n hose, almost horizontally. The diameter of the well is 150 mm., They drilled themselves 10-15 years ago. In the process of pumping, the level drops to 90 cm. For some reason, the vibration pumps break once every 2 weeks. Thank.
