Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

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

Homeowners of Diefenbach Corners can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – indicates high iron content. A putrid smell, like rotten eggs, points to beyond-acceptable sulfur content.

A single filter can address both … and provide immediate respite from these annoying symptoms.

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

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

Adding a filter implements an immediate difference in home water quality. Water smells better. It doesn’t stain. Many Diefenbach Corners homeowners ponder, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

A Diefenbach Corners home’s water can shift over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might draw from an underground water source with different properties. If stains or smells appear later, a filter might be in order.
