Ours fails the Nitrate only, and would cost us 1000s to sort. We now use just for the garden, toilets and car washing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 [quote]How much did you test cost, may I ask? paul[/quote]I paid €45 to have the well water tested last year and I know there are traces of bacteriological matter depending on the weather conditions (rain=contamination)As there is no nitrate, nitrite, chlore nor phosphates or amonia, I really would like to make use of this almost clean water and I was hoping someone might suggest a solution they are already satisfied with.I have now decided to go for a ceramic+carbon filter as used in the 3rd world for water sanitation. As it is fitted to the tap rather than the pipe, I will be able to move it with me if/when I move...Clair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
