Well water is sometimes tough to work with I'm on well water with a high Tds reading of over 975 with some odor. I go thru a lot of filters and di resin I actually recharge my resin to save but for carbon filters read the labeling on them some are better for odor and some are better for Chlorine I get mine usually from Canadian tire I use a puritec rodi system

I was on a well too, the smell is harmless but people who visit always notice it. I used it for washing and showering but bought a cooler for drinking water, the smell should go if your using enough carbon as suggested.

He does not have a tds meter so I do not know what the reading is.
I am assuming it is 0 as the entire unit is brand new with all the filters new.
When some one wrote the smell is harmless, that tells me that there is still something in the water that makes the water smell so the water is not 100% clean, no? Clean water should not have an odour, right?
