Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited attributes of a house's water are hard to pass by.

Homeowners of Portland can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – signifies elevated iron content. A putrid odor, like rotten eggs, signifies high sulfur content.

One filter can take care of both … and provide immediate respite from these annoying symptoms.

This filter system, regularly 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 inviting, and much less problematic.

The iron filter system uses two fiberglass tanks. The first tank oxygenates water to divide out impurities; the second employs minerals to eliminate the impurities. Once finished, the treated water flows into the water softener.

Adding a filter makes an immediate difference in home water conditions. Water smells better. It won’t leave blemishes. Many Portland residents ask, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

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 Portland home’s water can morph 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.
