This is my first home with well water. I love how the water has NO smell. When I travel and stay in a municipal system - the chlorine smell is nasty and tastes bad. I can't believe all my life I lived with that.
My question is this: Is there any maintenace that I need to do for the well system. In my basement - I have a blue tank and separate water softener that I add salt to.
Occasionally, we'll notice some black sediment in the water. The blue tank has a drain valve (hose bib). I am wondering if I should hook a hose up to it and run it alittle to flush any sediment out of the tank? Probably wouldn't hurt to do the same to the HWH?
Those familiar with well water living - is there any maintenance you do that I should know about?
