Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unappreciated elements of a house's water are nearly impossible to overlook.

Residents of Okauchee can notice reddish blemishes on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – points to high iron level. A nasty odor, like rotten eggs, points to high sulfur content.

A single filter can address both … and offer immediate relief from these annoying symptoms.

This filter system, typically labeled 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 processes make water far more appealing, and much less detrimental.

The iron filter system uses 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 change in home water conditions. Water smells far more appealing. It doesn’t leave blemishes. Many Okauchee residents ponder, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

A Okauchee home’s water can morph over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might tap an underground water source with different properties. If stains or smells appear later, a filter might be advisable.
