For orange or brown stains plus hard water on a well. The Fleck 2510AIO iron filter (Katalox Light) is rated up to 30 ppm iron, 15 ppm manganese and 10 ppm hydrogen sulfide. It works best near pH 8. If your pH is lower, send Aidan your test before you order. The softener after it takes out the hardness. Above 30 ppm iron, The Iron Buster puts two iron filters in a row.
For blue-green stains plus hard water. The neutralizer's calcite raises the pH and adds some hardness, which the softener after it takes out. The 2.5 handles pH down to 5.5. The 1.5 suits 1 or 2 people at pH 6.0 and up. The Clack neutralizers need no drain or power. If your iron is above 0.5 ppm, pick a backwashing Fleck neutralizer.
For chlorine taste and smell plus hard water, on city water or a well. Every carbon tank holds Centaur catalytic carbon, which also takes out chloramine. The All In One puts the carbon and the softener resin in one tank; the others are two tanks.
The 3-tank package treats iron, low pH and hardness. The 5-stage treats sediment, low pH, hardness, chlorine taste and bacteria (with a UV light), and has no iron stage. Our larger well systems are on the well water systems page.
For acidic water or chlorine when you would rather not add salt. The salt-free conditioner prevents scale but does not remove hardness, so the water will not feel soft, and Aidan does not recommend it with iron in the water. Neither tank needs a drain or power.

The softener size (48,000, 64,000 or 80,000 grain) comes from your hardness and household; see Sizing below. Salt and media figures are Aidan's, from his own house and his service work.
Iron plus hardness. A softener handles only a little iron, up to about 1 ppm on the 48,000 grain. Iron also wears out its resin. An iron filter goes in first.
Acidic water plus hardness. The neutralizer adds some hardness as it raises the pH, and the softener takes it out. If your hardness stays under about 7 grains after the neutralizer, Aidan says some homes skip the softener.
That is hard water alone. A softener by itself fixes it and costs less than any package.

This system has been a game changer. We have 14ppm iron and this system has brought it down to almost zero. Highly recommend! Also, the service at Mid Atlantic Water is exceptional! Very helpful throughout the entire installation process. Glad we went with them.
Gave the values of water test, type and size of the well. Recommendation was accepted. Units were installed and run thru their cycles. Almost immediately water quality improved. MUCH better. Questions were answer during the installation process (internet) fairly quickly.
Mid Atlantic was helpful in.identifying the right system for my home. The products came well packaged, the price was right and service fantastic. I will use them again on our next nome.
