Question

does anyone no what I can do to stop this from happening. I dont know much about water softener systems and if that would help at all. Please help, I can no longer buy white clothes. thanks for any info

Answer 1

yes, i grew up with well water. you definately need a water softener if you ever want your water safe enough for your laundry. gas dryer is not the prob. and i have never heard of a gas washing machine...lol good luck

Answer 2

The fix can be of a few options, from the Whole house filter available at The Home centers for under 50$ installed by yourself, these will require Filter changes, depending on your rust and sediment content in the water
You can also add, the OXY cleaners to your wash , to stop the yellowing,
the most expensive is the Softener, i would still suggest a whole house filter with this method, to protect the softener itself, this can be done with plumbing knowledge and depending on your iron content cost fro 250.00 to 1000.00 as a do it yourself,
another option would be to call a well person who may flush your pump ,well and water system, there is also a home user flush kit available at you local home center- this will require at least 2 days, and knowledge of your water system

Answer 3

You need to invest in a water-filtration system to remove the impurities from the water. Will cost you between $500-4000, but will pay for itself in cleaner water and white clothes. Can get from Home Depot, Lowes or Sears.

Answer 4

Just get a better water filter that handles iron in water. Also, I put another water filter just before my hot water tank and they seem to solve the problem, so far.

Answer 5
