Whether your on a well, spring water, or chlorinated city water, how do you treat/ dechlorinize, or filter your water that you use in the winery?

John,

We are on well water. We filter to 0.2 micron, soften and then UV Sterilize and the pump to our storage tanks. Works pretty well, although the UV bulbs need to be replaced every so often. We have not had any problems with bad bugs. Before we had this system, when we hit certain depth in the well we would have lots of Hydrogen sulfide. We have not had this problem lately either.

We are on a well, but all we use on our Karchers/Ozone machine are rough Culligan filters, just to filter sediment. Other than that we do not filter the water. If we use our well water to water-back, it just adds to our terrior. [wow.gif]
