Properly Size Your Well Water Treatment Systems

This video will go over how to size a well water filter properly, it is easy to do yourself.

Warning! Before you purchase a filter system for your well water, please STOP and watch this video.

It is very important that you size the filter system for your needs and system setup.

Otherwise, it could be a costly and horrible experience.

Minimum Water Flow Rate Required:

The size of an iron filter or pH neutralizer system is dependent on the flow rate from your well pump. 

Please check your flow rate to select the properly sized system.

Do not select a system that requires a higher flow rate. 

Iron Water Filter for Well Water

If you're a well water homeowner, chances are you've encountered the frustrating signs of iron contamination: orange-brown stains marring your sinks and laundry, a lingering metallic taste in your water, or even reduced water flow due to clogged pipes. Iron filters are specifically designed to combat these issues, removing iron from your water supply and restoring its clarity and quality.

Iron, a naturally occurring mineral, can seep into well water sources from the surrounding soil and rock or through deteriorating pipes and plumbing fixtures. While iron itself isn't usually a major health concern in moderate amounts, it causes significant aesthetic and practical problems throughout the home. Iron filters act as a specialized line of defense, trapping and removing iron particles to prevent the telltale stains, odors, and long-term damage associated with this common well water contaminant.

The Problem: Signs of Iron in Your Well Water

Iron in well water doesn't always announce itself immediately. However, there are several visible and less obvious signs that indicate its presence in your water supply.

Visible Signs

The most common telltale sign is rusty, orange-brown staining on everything your water touches – sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and even your laundry. These stains form when dissolved iron in the water oxidizes and becomes insoluble, leaving stubborn deposits.

Invisible Signs

Iron can also cause a metallic taste and odor in your drinking water, which can be particularly unpleasant. Additionally, over time, iron buildup can clog pipes, reducing water pressure and potentially damaging appliances that rely on a steady water flow.

Iron Bacteria

In some cases, iron in well water can create the perfect environment for iron bacteria to thrive. These bacteria feed on iron, producing a slimy buildup and a foul "rotten egg" smell caused by hydrogen sulfide gas. Iron bacteria can be more difficult to remove than iron itself, often requiring specialized treatment.

Iron Bacteria

It's important to distinguish between the two primary forms of iron found in well water:

• Ferrous Iron: This is dissolved, "clear water" iron. You won't see it, but it's the root cause of staining as it oxidizes.
• Ferric Iron: This is the oxidized, insoluble form of iron that creates those rusty stains and buildups.

Iron filters target both types of iron, preventing problems at the source and eliminating existing contamination.
