We have well water and it is reddish-brown now. I had some work done on the well today due to low water pressure. See post #54 that tells what work they did and what they came up with. I didn't have problems with water clarity before they came.

The pressure is fine now but I've had the faucet in the kitchen running about 10 minutes and it's still cloudy and reddish colored. That's in addition to flushing the toilet half a dozen times.

Will it clear up if I just let it run for a bit longer? Or should I go buy some drinking water? Was he wrong saying that a filter isn't necessary?

Sorry for another vanity post but I don't have anyone available that I can ask right now.

I am a groundwater expert.

First, it is vital that you have your raw well-water sampled and analyzed at a laboratory who specializes in water analyses. The colour could be an indicator of naturally occurring iron associated with the groundwater but it also could be a type of iron bacteria and of course it could a number of other issues.

I would also suggest that you retain the services of a well expert (usually he/she is a professional engineer or geoscientist and called a hydrogeologist) to come out and assess your water well and determine if there are any sources of pollution near your well and if your well is acting as a pathway for sources of contamination to enter the well. The qualified professional can also sample your well properly and offer an interpretation of the analysis.

Feel free to give me a PM and we can talk privately some more.

Your vanity posts are starting to remind me of someone.
