Recommended Treatment Systems for Descanso
Iron Filtration (Highly Recommended)
Descanso wells in granite and metamorphic bedrock commonly have iron problems. Our iron filters remove:
- Ferrous iron (dissolved, clear water iron)
- Ferric iron (rust stains, orange water)
- Iron bacteria (slimy buildup in toilets and pipes)
System Sizing for Descanso Wells
Your well produces 3-10 GPM. We size treatment systems based on:
- Well flow rate (3-10 GPM)
- Household size and peak demand
- Specific contaminants in your water test
- Water usage patterns (irrigation, livestock, residential)
