Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited attributes of a home’s water are hard to miss.

Residents of Washington County can notice reddish staining on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – indicates elevated iron content. A bothersome odor, like rotten eggs, indicates elevated sulfur content.

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

This filter system, often termed an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, fits into a home’s plumbing between the pressure tank and water softener. Its operations make water far more appealing, and much less harmful.

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

Installing a filter implements an instant transformation in home water quality. Water smells better. It doesn’t stain. Many Washington County homeowners think, “Why didn’t we do this before?”

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

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