We have used Gilford Well for decades, and they consulted with us when we rebuilt out systems 4 years ago. We use a basic sediment filter and UV, and the combination is great. For drinking water and ice, we do have a refrigerator with a charcoal cartridge as well. We do use a smaller micron filter for sediment, and find we need to change it about every 4-6 weeks in the summer, and the charcoal filter about half way through.
Call and ask for Norm Harris at Gilford Well. He and his brother now run the business.
Bilproject - thanks for the tip on the bleach. House is now plumbed with the new PX piping instead of copper. Do you think this would be an issue with only a short soak? Also, how to you isolate the toilets in terms of not letting the clorinated water into the septic system?
NHDOLFAN - We used to have a point well, but always had trouble with it. Now have a pipe that draws water via a wellpump from 15 ft below surface (to help, as codeman states, to keep away from the gasoline-disturbed surface level). We built a large stand to hold the a standard wellpump veritically (as if you leave them horizontal or tilted they tend to burn up their bearings) which holds the pump 2 feet off the bottom. Set up, with the filters/UV in the house, works great.
