Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited attributes of a house's water are difficult to miss.

Homeowners of Okauchee Lake can notice reddish staining on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – indicates high iron level. A putrid smell, like rotten eggs, indicates beyond-acceptable sulfur content.

One filter can address both … and offer instant respite from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, usually called an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, is added into a home’s plumbing between the pressure tank and water softener. Its operations make water far more inviting, and much less problematic.

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

Installing a filter implements an instant transformation in home water conditions. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t leave blemishes. Many Okauchee Lake homeowners ask, “Why didn’t we do this earlier?”

A Okauchee Lake home’s water can shift over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might utilize an underground water with different properties. If stains or smells show up later, a filter might be recommended.
