If you have never had the well water analyzed, I strongly recommend that 
you do it.  Many counties will do it without charge.  In the WW Grainger 
catalog is a test for about a hundred bucks.  You collect the sample and 
mail it to an automated lab.

If the pH is off, there is stuff in the water.

I suspect that your water is highly acidic.  You may want to test it. 
 Acidic
water is not good for you.  You may want to neutralize it.  If this is the 
case
then CS will probably no longer aggregate once the ph is brought up toward 
7.
