If you have any questions or concerns about your Wewahitchka, FL well, please contact a licensed professional.
1. Cloudy Water
Cloudy water can be caused by a variety of factors, including sediment in the well, mineral deposits, or algae. If your water is cloudy, it’s important to have it tested to determine the cause.
There are a few things you can do to try to clear up cloudy water on your own:
Run the Faucet
Run the water for a few minutes to see if the cloudiness clears up. If it does, it’s likely due to sediment in the well.
Check the Filter
Sediment can build up in the filter and cause cloudy water. So check it and replace it if necessary.
Clean the Vent
You can also clean your well’s vent screen. A clogged vent screen can cause cloudy water by trapping sediment in the well.
2. Spots on Dishes and Glassware
Spots on dishes and glassware can be caused by mineral deposits, algae, or bacteria. You can do to try to remove spots with:
Vinegar or Lemons
You can use vinegar or lemons to remove spots from dishes and glassware. Simply soak the items in vinegar or lemon juice for a few minutes, then rinse with clean water.
A Water Softener
If you have hard water, spots can be caused by the mineral deposits in the water. A water softener can help remove these deposits and prevent spots.
3. Bad Taste or Smell
Bad taste or smell in your water can be caused by sediment, bacteria, or high levels of iron, sulfates, or chlorine.
You can try to remove bad taste or smell with:
A Water Filter
A water filter can help remove sediment, bacteria, and other contaminants from your water, improving the taste and smell.
Chlorine Tablets
Using chlorine tablets can help remove the chlorine and improve the taste and smell of your water.
4. Dry Skin or Itchy Eyes
Dry skin or itchy eyes can be caused by hard water, chemicals in the water, or allergies.
Troubleshoot this issue by:
Installing a Water Softener
The minerals in the water can cause dry skin or itchy eyes if you have hard water. A water softener can help remove these minerals and improve your skin and eye health.
Checking for Allergies
If you’re allergic to something in the water, it can cause dry skin or itchy eyes. Check with your doctor to see if you have any allergies, and avoid using any products that contain allergens.
In conclusion, your well water is an important part of your home, and keeping it in good working order is vital. There are ways to stay on top of common well water problems and troubleshoot them yourself.
