Deep well water

[Fomerballer]

I’m switching location from city to country I’ll now be using well water from a deep aquifer.

Any issue I should know about or prepare for? Should I just do a background dissolved solids check and add nutes as usual. I’m guess it’s probably high in iron and maybe sulfur.

As usual thanks for any comments.

You can start with a simple PPM test. If it's below 150, or so, you're probably fine with it. If much over that, you'd want to have it tested and/or filter it so you know what you're giving your plants.

Aquifers are so different all across the world. Sending it in to be tested gives you a better idea of what your actually working with.

Invest in a r.o. system. Best money spent if you have bad water
