[News Boquete] Boquete Bulk Organics

The purpose of Boquete Bulk Organics is to collectively acquire organic dry goods at the most reasonable prices possible, and with the smallest carbon footprint.  We are a Buying Club, and a lifetime membership in BOBC is only $10.  Membership is necessary to cement our status as a club, distinguishing us from retail stores.

Why We Are Here

The Bulk Organics Buying Club is here to make Organic foods as available as possible for any and all who want them.  Health is food based.  There is no point in following a diet to improve health, if you're eating a poisoned version of a recommended food.  So, in the age old tradition of conscientious consumers, we started a BUYING CLUB!  We help ourselves get what we need and want, we minimise our environmental footprint, what we pay in corporate profits, and we can help our community grow into the future needs of its residents.

How We Do It

All members contribute to the list of what we want made available here.  Some purchase full containers, but most leave part of what they order to share with others.  If we want rye flour, we will get a bag knowing you want only 5# of it, but also that many of us use rye flour sporadically, if not regularly.  The excess is stored in The Pantry and used by other members until it is gone and reordered.  Through this process we have acquired an impressive inventory, available for purchase by any member at any time we're open.

We also provide fresh coconut products weekly, that you pre-order, and the means to order items from La Casa del Cerdo in David and have them delivered to the pantry for pick-up.

Please visit our website for our full inventory, hours, map link and means for contact; follow us on Facebook for updates, new products.  You can also search for us on Google Maps!

Stop by The Pantry!  I would love to see you!  And please bring clean containers to use or provide for others!

How To Get Rid of iron In Well Water

If you're struggling with rusty-looking stains on your sinks, a metallic taste in your water, or concerns about the safety of your well, the culprit is likely excess iron. Several proven methods exist to remove iron from your well water, including filtration, aeration, and oxidation. Understanding the causes of iron in your well and the various removal solutions empowers you to make the best decision for your home.

Iron naturally occurs in soil and rocks. As rainwater percolates through the ground, it can dissolve iron minerals, carrying them into your well water. This issue is particularly common in areas with naturally iron-rich geology or if you have older well components that may be corroding.

How Does Iron Get Into My Well Water?

The primary way iron enters well water is through natural processes. Groundwater seeps through iron-rich soil and rock formations, dissolving iron minerals along the way. Additionally, older well casings, pipes, or pumps made of iron-based materials can gradually rust, contributing to elevated iron levels in your well water.

What Problems Does Iron in Well Water Cause?

• Staining: Iron in well water is notorious for leaving unsightly reddish-brown stains on your plumbing fixtures, sinks, tubs, laundry, and even dishes.
• Metallic Taste and Odor: You may notice an unpleasant metallic taste or even a rusty odor in your drinking water and in beverages made with it.
• Appliance Damage: Over time, iron buildup can clog pipes and reduce the lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and other appliances.
• Potential Health Concerns: While iron is an essential nutrient, the EPA notes that excessive long-term consumption could pose health risks, primarily for individuals with certain medical conditions.
• Iron Bacteria: Iron in well water can promote the growth of iron bacteria, leading to slimy buildups and a worsening of taste, odor, and clogging issues.

How Do I Test for Iron in My Well Water?

• DIY Kits: Simple home test kits provide a basic indication of iron presence, but they may not be accurate enough for precise decision-making.
• Professional Lab Testing: For comprehensive results and critical information about your exact iron levels and other water quality parameters, send a water sample to a certified lab. Local health departments or water treatment companies can often help you find testing services.

What Are the Best Ways to Remove Iron from Well Water?

• Filtration Systems

  • Sediment Filters: These basic filters can remove some larger iron particles, but may be insufficient for higher iron levels.
  • Iron-Specific Filters: Specialized filters with various media types trap and remove iron effectively, making them a popular treatment solution.
  • Water Softeners: Traditional water softeners can remove small amounts of iron through ion exchange, but are more focused on addressing water hardness.
  • Maintenance: Regardless of the filter type, regular replacement according to the manufacturer's instructions and monitoring your water quality with testing will ensure continued effectiveness.

• Aeration

  • Process: Aeration injects air into the water, oxidizing soluble ferrous iron into insoluble ferric iron, making it filterable.
  • Best for: Aeration is ideal for high iron levels and is often combined with filtration for optimal results.

• Chemical Oxidation (Chlorination)

  • Process: Chlorine injection oxidizes iron and disinfects the water. Filtration then removes the oxidized particles.
  • Considerations: Chlorine can affect water taste, requiring additional filtration steps, and needs careful handling due to its potential hazards.

• Other Methods

  • Reverse Osmosis: This removes a wide range of contaminants, including iron, but may be less cost-effective for targeting iron specifically.
  • Distillation: Similar to reverse osmosis, it's very effective but may not be practical as a primary solution for whole-house iron removal.

How Much Does Iron Removal Cost?

The cost to remove iron varies greatly depending on:

• Iron Level: Higher iron concentrations may require more complex treatment systems.
• Water Usage: The size of your household and water demand impact system capacity needs
• Chosen Method: Simple filters are less expensive, while aeration or chlorination systems have higher upfront and potential maintenance costs.
• DIY vs. Professional: Professional installation adds expense but is often recommended for complex setups.

Can I Remove Iron from My Well Water Myself?

The possibility of DIY installation depends on your skill level and the chosen method. Installing basic sediment filters or under-sink iron filters can be within a homeowner's capability. For whole-house systems, aeration, or chlorination, professional consultation and installation are usually the safest and most reliable route.
