Hiya, I'm on well water and every 6 months or so, I get odors coming from the water. I believe it's Iron bacteria (or something to that effect). Anyway, I usually do a treatment by pouring a measured amount of chlorox down the well to shock the system. Unfortunately, this ends up with clorine odors in the house for weeks (I don't purge the system after adding the chlorox.....we're in severe drought here and I don't want to waste the water....unfortunately, the side affect is a stopped septic system). Are there any systems available such as RODI etc... that I could install to eliminate this? I've got a water softener that I've never used (came with the house) but don't think that would help much. Thanks for any advice. Cheers, cc
