So I had the water tested at my new house on Friday. The test came back with Fecal Coliforms and E.Coli… Does anyone know if they make a system to take that out of the drinking water for the whole house. I was thinking something alone the lines of a Reverse Osmosis system but not take out salt I need it to take out poop if you will… I know they have to have something and if anyone works in a place to buy them if they can hook me up with a good price. thanks for the help ---

Ultraviolet will kill a lot. To be safe you need more then just filtration when it comes bacteria. ---

I assume you have well water and a septic tank/leach bed. Is your septic tank full? Is the well under or near the leach bed? I’d try to figure out the cause of having shit in your water. Carbon based filters, ultraviolet light and reverse osmosis will kill all of that. EDIT: Also a leaking septic tank can also cause the problems you have. ---

If you want to get bleach in to the well just pour it down the well casing. That pipe goes from the ground strait to the water in the well. Also, what about farmers in the area? Have any fields next to the house that they spread? Some how the well water is getting contaminated. ---

If thats the case then you will have to set up some type of filter system after the water enters the house. Good luck man, you can always boil water for the time being if need be. ---

i think this problem is bigger then a filter. You have man made contamination of your well. That is a pretty BIG damn problem. You MUST find the source of the contaminaion and repair it. If you didn’t close on this house yet, DONT. It is their responsibility to fix this.
