Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited traits of a home’s water are hard to overlook.

Homeowners of North Shore can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – suggests high iron level. A nose-turning smell, like rotten eggs, indicates elevated sulfur level.

A single filter can take care of both … and provide immediate respite from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, typically called an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, is installed into a home’s plumbing between the pressure tank and water softener. Its processes make water far more appealing, and much less harmful.

The iron filter system involves two fiberglass tanks. The first tank oxygenates water to separate out impurities; the second employs minerals to remove the impurities. Once done, the treated water goes into the water softener.

Installing a filter implements an immediate difference in home water quality. Water smells better. It won’t stain. Many North Shore residents ask, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Are you prepared? If you need a new or replacement iron/sulfur water filter in North Shore contact Kelly James Service. Its plumbing practitioners are gurus at identifying water problems, and delivering solutions to create the absolute top water quality.

A filter system should be serviced every two to three years to clean out iron from the tanks. Correctly maintained, an iron filter or filter for sulfur water smell can work more than two decades.

A North Shore home’s water can change over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might draw from an underground water with different properties. If stains or smells show up later, a filter might be a smart investment.
