Annieday replied to Old Haunt Farm's discussion Copper Deficiency: Worth It to Get a Filter for the Well?"I know this is an old post - but wondering if anyone knew of a filter for Calcium? I’m doing COWP every other month I think because of Excess calcium in the water ....that, and the acorns!"
Julia @Woody Glen Farm replied to Old Haunt Farm's discussion Copper Deficiency: Worth It to Get a Filter for the Well?"The brand is Pentek and they make several sizes-- the tall skinny ones and the fat shorter ones. Here is an Amazon search page with the different ones on it. You have to have the correct housing to fit them:https://goo.gl/sv8zueGood luck! I have had…"

We have lived on our farm for 8 years as of this month and have had high iron the whole time, even with the large blue water tank filter which is in the well house. I want to get a…"
