Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited traits of a house's water are nearly impossible to overlook.

Residents of Okauchee Lake can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – signifies elevated iron level. A nose-turning smell, like rotten eggs, points to elevated sulfur level.

One filter can take care of both … and offer instant respite from these unmistakeable symptoms.

This filter system, usually 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 damaging.

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

Adding a filter makes an immediate change in home water conditions. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t leave blemishes. Many Okauchee Lake residents ponder, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”
