Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unwelcome characteristics of a home’s water are hard to miss.

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

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

This filter system, usually called 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 problematic.

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 flows into the water softener.

Adding a filter creates an instant difference in home water quality. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t stain. Many Fillmore residents wonder, “Why didn’t we do this before?”

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 Fillmore home’s water can change over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might tap an underground water vein with different properties. If stains or smells appear later, a filter might be in order.
