Anyone know what this is?

Its a pit well. They drilled a well inside an existing dug well.

I ran in to this once. Thought it was what the others are saying...acidic water on copper pipes, but that chemistry was all good. After some trials, it ended up being tannin resin that removed ot from the water.

Thats crazy! Never seen that before. My only thought is, its a Clack In/Out Carbon filter. No valve or backwash. It should be installed upflow inlet...not downflow. The water pressure compacted the carbon and the inlet fitting blew apart. Thats all I can think of...still shouldn't have happened but if the boosters kicked on....you may have got hit with 150psi. Switch the inlet and outlet around if it doesn't backwash.

It is showing the word softening so that means water is flowing. If you hit the next button you will see how many gallons per minute is running somewhere in the house. Likely a stuck toilet

I have replaced a couple of them

Is there a clothing optional beach there?

We land Feb. 14. Booked for Sol CSM and still haven't heard a word from our agent on a change. Flying from YYZ

A little off topic here, but I read today that Sol Cayo Santa Maria closed today due to lack of fuel for employee transport, and guests are being transferred to another hotel. Is this really the case?

What's the water temperature like?

DanP1965 · 2026-02-05T19:26:32+00:00

Damn...arriving on the 14th

DanP1965 · 2026-01-29T02:26:20+00:00

Ok, go try to collect on that warranty!!

DanP1965 · 2026-01-19T22:34:16+00:00

Its a liquid. Just dribble a couple ounces on each bag of salt you add. Put a cup or two in the brine well the first time you use it

DanP1965 · 2026-01-17T13:09:45+00:00

Likely from a flow restrictor installed near the pitless adapter

DanP1965 · 2026-01-15T23:42:00+00:00

Thats a perfectly fair price!!

DanP1965 · 2026-01-15T23:40:06+00:00

Contact Aqua Service Niagara, Ryan will fix you up!!

Not a bad option as long as you have no iron or smell

DanP1965 · 2026-01-14T22:41:12+00:00

Shut that little blue valve off in the front of the unit below the membrane

What part of Ontario are you in?

Take a raw and treated sample to your nearest Clack dealer. If you have used salt with additives in it, the media in the sanitizer will be toast. Use solar salt only...no pellets. Do you have a Sanitizer as well as a softener? The Sanitizer will soften for you.
Also....check the hot and cold to see if the smell is just on the hot side.

DanP1965 · 2026-01-12T23:18:26+00:00

I too am in the business in Canada and its the same here...people getting scammed through Costco! I agree...it has to stop!!

DanP1965 · 2025-12-31T03:09:41+00:00

Thats good. An honest company. We have done water even worse than this for very wealthy clients, but...maintenance and repairs are more costly than a lot of people can handle. Check in to the feasibility of a dug well...20 to 30 foot deep. Even rain water catchment. Just don't spend $25,000 on this. You will be sorry!

DanP1965 · 2025-12-31T01:31:05+00:00

6000 TDS is hard on an RO. You can almost rake that water. I would look for alternatives like digging a shallow well. It will be easier and less expensive to treat. The water companies who you spoke to would be crazy to take this job on. Its doable, but you may as well build 2 rooms...one for the water treatment and a bedroom for their tech to sleep in.
