What is all of this stuff for treating my well water? Do I have

The blue trashcan looking thing is likely a brine tank for a water softener. One of those blue cylinder units is likely a softener, not sure what the other one would be, Im going to guess the smaller two tank unit is a dual media softener and the large one is some sort of prefilter for the softener.

The white thing on the back is a reverse osmosis system with the big jug on the side a holding tank.

The hell is the RO unit feeding? That's about the right size unit for a steamer.

I think it is for the drinking tap at the kitchen sink

Filters need to be changed evey 6 months

Salt added mo thy and a yearly clean /flush.


If your on well you should have water lab tested 2 times a year.

I test 6 times a year, as we are near farmland.

I also have a large uv sterilizer.

About right.

You'll have to change those filter cartridges periodically on that RO system. As far as the membrane goes, change it when its less than 80% efficient. To test that, you need a TDS meter; Check the incoming water, and the outlet water, then calculate [(inlet TDS - Outlet TDS)/Inlet TDS] * 100. When you change that membrane, wear medical gloves and wipe down the outside surface before you open the cartridge, do not touch the membrane with your bare hands; there's almost no chlorine in the water after that three stage filter system to inhibit mold, all kinds of nasty shit can grow in there.

Now with the softener, keep salt in it, you can check the hardness of its product water with the same TDS meter, Take that reading and divide it by 17.1 to calculate Grains per Gallon (GPG). If your water is harder then 3 grains or so and there is salt in the unit, have it serviced.
