Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited characteristics of a house's water are hard to pass by.

Homeowners of Ottawa can notice reddish staining on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – points to high iron content. A bothersome aroma, like rotten eggs, points to high sulfur content.

A single filter can solve both … and provide immediate relief from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, often 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 appealing, and much less detrimental.

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

Adding a filter makes an immediate change in home water conditions. Water smells far more appealing. It doesn’t leave blemishes. Many Ottawa residents wonder, “Why didn’t we do this before?”

Are you prepared? If you need a new or replacement iron/sulfur water filter in Ottawa contact Kelly James Service. Its plumbing professionals are masters at diagnosing water problems, and supplying solutions to ensure the absolute best water quality.

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 operate more than two decades.

A Ottawa home’s water can change over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might draw from an underground water with different properties. If stains or smells show up afterward, a filter might be a smart investment.
