Chlorine or Hydrogen Peroxide – Which is Better for Treating Water?
In the 1950s, Eastern Europe was the first to use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for drinking water disinfection. H2O2 is known for its high oxidative and biocidal efficiency. Hydrogen peroxide has not been used often for drinking water disinfection, but its popularity seems to increase each year

OXi-Pro-7 Stabilized Hydrogen Peroxide
If you are a user of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), you already know that it is the best way to oxidize iron and sulfur (hydrogen sulfide). You have undoubtedly seen the results that it produces by eradication of the iron and sulfur completely.

If You Want to Fix Bad Water, You Need to Test it First
Nearly everyone we talk to says that they have bad water. Many say their water is the worst that we can imagine.

The odds are, you don't have the worst water we can imagine. We have seen some water th...October 25, 2012 -
Water Testing for Wells

When you have well water that smells bad and/or stains, the type of equipment you need to fix it depends upon what exactly is in the water and at what level. For instance, If you have iron and/or manganese (which frequently exist together) in your water, it is imperative that we also k...September 5, 2012 -
Iron, Sulfur, Manganese and Arsenic
If you treat your water right, you should have no problems. Assuming your pH is close to 7, I would recommend a hydrogen peroxide system. It will oxidize the iron, manganese and sulfur all in one shot and most likely bind the arsenic to the iron in the process and remove (or greatly reduce) it as well. Then a simple water softener and reverse osmosis system should give you exceptionally good water.August 2, 2010 -

Will this system also kill the coliform bacteria and any other bacteria that may be ...July 14, 2010
