Rusty or discolored water, caused by iron, can be a frustrating issue for homeowners. Surprisingly, it only takes a minuscule amount of iron to cause significant problems. Imagine dividing a gallon of water into a million parts. Then, take one of those parts and divide it into thirds. Iron in just one-third of that one-millionth of a gallon is all it takes to make your clothes dingy and stain your sink, appliances, and showers.
Treating iron in water is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The form of the iron, the presence of other elements, and the existence of iron-reducing bacteria all play crucial roles in determining the most effective treatment method. It's essential to use the right technology to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Various treatment options may be considered depending on the well water's specific characteristics. These can include air, pure oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, ozone, or a combination of oxidizing agents. The key is understanding that well water is diverse, and each well requires special attention to address its unique challenges.
