That was me, but what I was looking for was to see if any oxidizer will work. That would say iron etc. is the cause of the discolored water rather than tannins.
Well mounted pellet droppers can cause problems in the well with the pump, casing, screen if any and casing etc.. So IMO, they should be used only when all other means of treatment in the building wouldn't.
Cleaning a well chemically and/or mechanically and then sanitizing it and the plumbing throughout the building and then treating the water after it enters the building is the best way to handle these types of problems without causing other problems.
Since you seem to be suggesting a direction away from water treament dealers.... In my experience the guvmint guys don't know equipment, or at least the latest improvements and application of it and they dont sell, service and repair it or have parts for it. So to get them involved when there's an industry specializing in water treatment equipment and its application does little more than add an entity that can not be sued or otherwise held responsible if their suggestions fail; regardless of the cost. And in many instances the advice is flawed due to suggesting equipment the industry is trying to get away from, such as manganese greensand filters regenerated with potassium permanganate and chlorine in any of it's 2 or 3 ways of being used in a residential application.
What does that gain the home owner really? Seriously, I'd like to hear the rational behind the suggestion.
Now that I can support.
