Most “bad well water” complaints are iron, manganese or hardness, not bacteria. Treating them with a softener alone clogs the resin; the correct order is oxidation and filtration first, then softening or RO if the TDS still requires it.
- Iron above 0.3 mg/L leaves rust stains and tastes metallic — aeration plus sand filtration is usually the cheapest fix.
- For bottled water, RO removes the excess minerals and a blending or mineral-dosing step puts the right profile back.
- Disinfection is not optional: UV or ozone after storage, sized for the peak flow rather than the average.
