Buying Decision Summary
SpringWell describes the WS as an air-injection oxidation and backwashing system for up to 7 ppm iron, 8 ppm hydrogen sulfide, and 1 ppm manganese. The maker requires a water test before order release. Its current technical table lists WS1 at 12 GPM and WS4 at 20 GPM. Treatment depends on iron and manganese form, sulfur, pH, pressure, pump flow, and bacterial results. The linked manual conflicts with the sales page on WS4 flow, connection size, and minimum pH, and the WS does not disinfect water.
