TJ and Marshall, I'm just wondering what would happen if you saturated that batting with concentrated CS, dried it out, then used this as an anti bacterial filter. Of course you may have little impetus to do this, since iron is your problem, probably not bacteria. But for others wouldn't this make a darn good anti bacterial filter? Presumably the ionic silver would, in drying, react to become silver oxide and silver hydroxide, but it should stay in the batting, if containment were robust. Anyhow, just a thought....... Reid
TJ Garland said: Go to a fabric store and buy a couple yards of 50/50 cotton polyester quilt batting to filter out the iron. I made a filter with 2 5 gallon buckets that were drilled and used the fabric between them . It removed almost all the iron. I changed the fabric out once a month on my well.
