Which Rid O' Rust Formula Do you Use?
STEP ONE: Test the well water.
- The measurement of well water's acidity (or
alkalinity) is termed "pH". Neutral pH is 7.0. A reading lower
than 7.0 is to the acidic side, a reading higher than 7.0 to the alkaline
side.
- Hardness is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). We
consider well water measuring 15 gpg or more relatively "hard".
- Iron content is measured in part per million (ppm).
One part per million (1ppm) will produce a noticeable rust stain in a month.
STEP TWO: Choose proper formula.
- For "acidic" well water measured at a pH
of 6.0 or lower, you MUST use Formula #1000.
- For "hard" well water measuring in the
15-20 gpg range or higher, we recommend Formula #2000.
- For the majority of applications, Rid O' Rust
Formula # 500 will do the job.
