Short Well Pump Update, One Week After Install. First Water Test Results in Description.
First Water Test Results:
Note: this test was done with a freshwater aquarium test kit, which 'expired' in 2017, so accuracy is questionable, but it's what I had on hand. I'll be getting an 'official' test kit soon.
Nitrite, NO2: 0 ppm
Nitrate, NO3, 0 ppm NOTE: The color was not quite the 0 Yellow, but significantly lighter than the 5 ppm Orange, so 0ish...
PH: 6.0
PH of our Tap Water: 6.6
Ammonia: 0 ppm
TASTE TEST: Slight Iron/Dirt flavor when compared to Tap.
The 0 ppm Nitrate and Nitrite at least let me know there is not a rotting raccoon in the well, so I figured it was safe to taste test a few ounces of the water.
I'll be adding a Sediment Filter to capture some of the Clay/Silt/Iron particles shortly.
Most likely going to pick up:
