Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unappreciated elements of a house's water are hard to overlook.

Homeowners of Portland can notice reddish staining on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – suggests elevated iron level. A bothersome smell, like rotten eggs, signifies beyond-acceptable sulfur level.

One filter can solve both … and provide instant relief from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, usually labeled an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, gets installed into a home’s plumbing between the pressure tank and water softener. Its operations make water far more appealing, and much less problematic.

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

Installing a filter creates an instant difference in home water properties. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t leave blemishes. Many Portland homeowners ponder, “Why didn’t we do this before?”

Are you prepared? If you need a new or replacement iron/sulfur water filter in Portland contact Kelly James Service. Its plumbing pros are masters at figuring out water issues, and supplying solutions to ensure the absolute best water quality.

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

A Portland home’s water can shift over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might tap an underground water source with different properties. If stains or smells appear afterward, a filter might be a smart investment.
