What is the film on my water?

Question

We have well water with low pH. It is causing the copper pipes to corrode and blue/green stains in the tub. In addition, there is a film on the water, it happens in glasses, pots, the toilet. It forms almost a delicate crust if left undisturbed. Is this related to the copper? If not, any ideas what it might be? The water was tested, but nothing out of the ordinary (apart from pH).

Answer 1

No, this is not due to the copper. This is actual particulate that is passing thru you well screen some 100 feet or so below at the bottom of water source. Probably particulate calcium so a water softner will do no good. That is used only for disolved calcium which is attached to a water molecule.
