well water filters

[Guest guest]

We have been drinking RO water and want to switch to something else.

However, we're having trouble deciding what kind of filter system we would need

because we have well water with very high levels of iron (we have 6 parts per

million - the acceptable level is about .3). High iron levels will plug up a

filter very quickly and we're afraid we'll be buying filters every 2 weeks!

(Brita and PUR make no claims to remove iron - I called them already.)

Even larger under-the-counter models or models that hook to your basement water

pipes only take out small amounts of iron. Water websites and companies keep

suggesting a whole house iron removal system. (Very pricey)

But we're not sure if they way they are removing the iron is good for our

health. Is there anything to look for or avoid when getting a water filter? An

iron filter?

We are learning so much about how to heal that we'd hate to purchase one system

and then find out it's not good for us (like the RO).

Thanks for any input you can give.
