I installed a Mr Cool DIY a few years ago and it had been working great. A few weeks ago it stopped blowing hot air. If I set it on heat, the air is room temp and the fan barely blows. If I set it to cool the fan works properly. Any ideas?

Funny you mention that. I’ve been referencing the Terry Love forum for the past few years and posted there before I posted here. I’ll send you a PM. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Sandmaster looks promising but definitely not cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

The pump was replaced a couple years ago so that definitely may have somethin to do with it. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Well is 120’ and well pump is set at 100’ so I don’t know if raising it would help, but definitely an option to consider. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I’ve had a couple quotes that recommend a spin down filter and then a dual gradient filter to address the sediment, which seems like a decent option. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I’d definitely consider putting a RO under the kitchen sink. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I tested for coliform, lead, arsenic, iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium and hardness and verified that the water is safe. Now my plan is to address the hardness and sediment. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I’ve had a few people suggest a more thorough water test, but I have no idea what I should be looking for. This is my first house on well water. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I have the hardness level, so what else would be needed to test for at this point? I was thinking I’d be able to choose and size a softener based on hardness and water usage. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

It’s very hard water for my area and hard enough that I’d like to treat it. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I’ve been using a cartridge filter for the past several years and it just clogs too quickly. I’m definitely looking for something more efficient. I also bought a HD special water softener years ago that was complete junk. I’ve heard to look for Clack or Fleck valves. Sent from my iPhone...

The water test was done by the county lab and it definitely wasn’t cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Makes sense, thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal
