Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

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

Residents of Washington County can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – suggests high iron content. A putrid aroma, like rotten eggs, points to beyond-acceptable sulfur content.

A single filter can solve both … and offer instant relief from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, typically termed 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 inviting, and much less detrimental.

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

Adding a filter makes an instant difference in home water conditions. Water smells better. It won’t stain. Many Washington County residents think, “Why didn’t we do this earlier?”

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

A Washington County home’s water can morph 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 recommended.
