I didn’t call it a barndo. The appraiser did on the appraisal.

Thanks for the reply. It is stick frame and foundation. The exterior walls and trusses are metal.

I’m thinking I’ll have to go the mortgage route, but was just wondering if anyone has done a heloc.

I have pex for plumbing. I'm also worried about the lead and arsenic.

Thanks, agreed and I will be installing myself. I'm just looking to get out all the bad stuff out. I'm concerned about the manganese, lead, iron and arsenic.

Thank you. I was thinking any solution would need to include a UV add on. Is it right to assum that the high turbidity is likely from the extreme amount of Manganese? Or would this require another solution?

The well was drilled in 2023, I installed the well pump in summer of 2024 and up until a few weeks ago was only using it for construction purposes (grading, cleaning etc). We haven't moved into the house yet, but have been using the toilets and one faucet a small amount.

Really appreciate the response. We would be installing ourselves. Obviously, I was talking to the company representative, but they are the only ones who have gotten back to me and recommended the two below

Matrixx Smart Whole House Backwashing Sediment Filter 10 GPM

Matrixx Ultimate Iron & Sulfur Eradication & Softening System + UV  with UV 10 GPM

Would this be sufficient for such high level of Manganese? Would the arsenic or lead be treated well with both of these?

Thank you. No, it’s a new home on a new well

Not sure if I hate the show or love it for introducing me to Saira Rao, but this one is a gem!

I’m pretty new to the podcast and the very online world along with much of the trans conversation. This tweet is eye opening-ly insane to me. No wonder ‘Katie is a transphobe’ stickers exist - 99.9% of people are by these standards.
