IRON FILTERS
If the water you pour from the tap in your home looks rusty or has reddish-brown particles that settle to the bottom, you likely have high levels of iron in your water. The nuisance of high iron concentrate often goes beyond just leaving orange, black, or gray stains on your fixtures and clothing. It can often leave a metallic smell and taste in your water and promotes the growth of Iron Reducing Bacteria which is extremely troublesome.
Water that is high in iron often also has elevated levels of manganese, hydrogen sulfide (often known simply as sulfur), and arsenic. A good water filter can usually remove the iron and also remove or sharply reduce many other contaminants as well. A backwashing whole house iron water filter is one of the most common ways of treating water that’s high in this metal, and the right filter can be very effective.
Types of Iron in Water
Iron can be found in the water supply in two different forms: soluble or “ferrous” iron and insoluble or “ferric” iron. Soluble iron, which is iron that’s dissolved in the water, needs to be made insoluble so that it can be removed from the water. Fortunately, exposing the iron to oxygen causes it to change. Unfortunately, when it becomes insoluble in your home, the iron will settle out and leave deposits in your pipes and water heater and on your clothing and dishes.
While it’s usually pretty easy to tell if you have iron in your water, it’s always a good idea to have your water tested to determine the iron levels, as well as to find out if there are additional contaminants in your water.
