You’re welcome. Our water is glacial. It comes from the Olympic Mountains behind us. Our well is 260’ down and our static level is 90’. The stuff is as pure as you can get and very sweet tasting. We could bottle and sell the stuff. There’s no calcium buildup on faucets or anything. Just that little bit of iron which is not really a problem.

With our iron and sulfur problem, the only thing (so far) I’ve found to clean the toilets with is a product called “The Works” toilet bowl cleaner. I try to clean with natural stuff as much as possible, but none of the natural things I’ve found will get the iron stains out of the toilet bowls. - I’ve found that putting a good bit of 3% hydrogen peroxide in some water in my glass coffee pot and letting it set for a couple of hours or so will clean it better than anything. I may have to use a gentle scrubber sponge on it also, but it works better than the stuff I’ve used on it so far. Not a big problem really, but it does get sort of off-putting when it gets really built up. - We’ve lived with this water for almost 25 yrs., so I got used to my white clothes being sort of a cream color after a few washes. Out well is deep, but we can’t escape the sulfur. - I envy you your great water! Be thankful; I know you are!!
