Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unappreciated qualities of a house's water are hard to ignore.

Homeowners of Durham can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – signifies high iron level. A nose-turning smell, like rotten eggs, signifies high sulfur content.

A single filter can solve both … and deliver instant respite from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, regularly labeled 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 harmful.

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

Adding a filter creates an instant transformation in home water quality. Water smells better. It doesn’t leave blemishes. Many Durham residents 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 work more than two decades.

A Durham home’s water can shift 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.
