my well water smells and tastes really bad. Also, when I run water in the tub, it looks "dirty". Looking for best fix for this that's easy to maintain since I'm a widow and have to do all this myself. Thanks!

When I had well water we had Culligan install a softener and filter. Our water had a sulfer smell and came out "dirty" like yours up to then. They came out monthly and serviced it, I didn't have to lift a finger. I don't remember the cost but we were pretty poor so it couldn't have been a lot. We also rented a water cooler from them for drinking water. It might be hard for you to replace those five gallon water jugs though but I'm sure they have something to fit your needs. I just didn't trust the well water for drinking especially since we had farm fields surrounding us and I had small children.
I have city water now and I have a PUR filter on my faucet which I really like and it doesn't take up room on my counter or refrig like the pitchers can. They filter out a great deal of contaminants but that doesn't solve the dirty water in the tub issue.

Water filtration should be a part of any home using a well system. I have one that comes off the pump, so my water is filtered to every water outlet.
Before you install a filter, I would gather about a 1/2 pint of water in a jar with a lid. You can take it to most businesses that sell pool supplies, or shops that sell aquariums and fish supplies, a county extension office, etc. Have (ask) them to test the ingredients of your water. The reason is the test results may affect the filter system you decide to invest in, or there could be a problem coming from a nearby industrial park that drastically affects your under-ground springs, and you make have to opt for a different solution altogether. Good luck

Some times the well driller to save a few bucks, doesn't install a drive shoe allowing ground water to enter your well. The expensive way is to have the well pipe pulled and reinstalled with the proper shoe and grouted around shoe.
The alternative is to tun your water at full tilt till the well goes dry and hopefully took all the sediment out. All well should have about a gallon of bleach added twice a year for bacteria. Now that said.
Last resort. Check the available filters. You might be able to get one that will remove sediment and odor also. I think filter carry three grades. Your local health dept. could possibly help. Good luck

I have the same recommendation as Becky, get like a PUR or Brita water filter and attach it to your faucet in the kitchen or buy one of the pitchers and fill it to filter you drinking water.
I would ask around about water filtration for your drinking and bath water. It may not cost too much to have someone do that.

On your faucet in the sink where you get your drinking water and stuff, just intall a water filter on it. I did and I have great tasting water. I'm not sure about the tub though.

The expensive way is to have the well pipe pulled and reinstalled with the proper shoe and grouted around shoe.
The alternative is to tun your water at full tilt till the well goes dry and hopefully took all the sediment out. All well should have about a gallon of bleach added twice a year for bacteria. Now that said.Last resort. Check the available filters. You might be able to get one that will remove sediment and odor also. I think filter carry three grades. Your local health dept. could possibly help. Good luck Water filtration should be a part of any home using a well system. I have one that comes off the pump, so my water is filtered to every water outlet.Before you install a filter, I would gather about a 1/2 pint of water in a jar with a lid. You can take it to most businesses that sell pool supplies, or shops that sell aquariums and fish supplies, a county extension office, etc. Have (ask) them to test the ingredients of your water. The reason is the test results may affect the filter system you decide to invest in, or there could be a problem coming from a nearby industrial park that drastically affects your under-ground springs, and you make have to opt for a different solution altogether. Good luck When I had well water we had Culligan install a softener and filter. Our water had a sulfer smell and came out "dirty" like yours up to then. They came out monthly and serviced it, I didn't have to lift a finger. I don't remember the cost but we were pretty poor so it couldn't have been a lot. We also rented a water cooler from them for drinking water. It might be hard for you to replace those five gallon water jugs though but I'm sure they have something to fit your needs. I just didn't trust the well water for drinking especially since we had farm fields surrounding us and I had small children.I have city water now and I have a PUR filter on my faucet which I really like and it doesn't take up room on my counter or refrig like the pitchers can. They filter out a great deal of contaminants but that doesn't solve the dirty water in the tub issue. Source(s):Experience. Some times the well driller to save a few bucks, doesn't install a drive shoe allowing ground water to enter your well.
