Newbie with hard well water

Nothing wrong with that.

If you do, it will be MUCH easier if you get the Unicel cartridges, but buy a couple of extra, so you can rotate them. As long as you clean and dry them before putting them up, you can store them indefinitely, to re-use later.

There are some tips out there (maybe even on the forum) about using DE filter powder with cartridges: don't do that. Unicel tells me that it damages the fibers in the filter material.

I've been using the Unicel cartridges for about 1 week now, and cleaning them out every evening. You wouldn't believe the difference it has made! Nearly all of the gunk has been filtered out and the water is clear. I just have to stir it up once or twice a day because the gunk that's left keeps settling to the bottom. It's almost completely out of the water though. I would highly recommend the Unicel cartridges to others with similar problems.

Thanks for the feed back.
