re: Well water comes out red

Get a good water test done to find out what is actually in your water - not one of the cheap ones that show colors to tell you what is in the water, but one that gives ppm or mg/l results. Your state should have resources that can give you more info. Then you can know what path you should take. Just for reference, the well info data on my well in Virginia came back with a listing showing the amounts for chloride, lead, copper, arsenic, hardness, e. coli, fluoride, iron, manganese, nitrite-n, nitrate-n, total coliform, sodium, uranium, gross alpha, radon, benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, pfoa, pfos and total petrochemical hydrocarbons.
