Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unwelcome traits of a home’s water are hard to pass by.

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

One filter can take care of both … and provide instant respite from these annoying symptoms.

This filter system, often called an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, gets installed 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 shake 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 immediate difference in home water quality. Water smells far more appealing. It doesn’t stain. Many Ottawa residents ponder, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Are you ready? If you want a new or replacement iron/sulfur water filter in Ottawa contact Kelly James Service. Its plumbing practitioners are specialists at analyzing water issues, and delivering 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 shift over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might tap an underground water vein with different properties. If stains or smells show up afterward, a filter might be advisable.
