Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unwelcome qualities of a house's water are hard to miss.

Residents of Portland can notice reddish blemishes on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – signifies elevated iron content. A bothersome smell, like rotten eggs, points to high sulfur content.

A single filter can take care of both … and deliver instant respite from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, typically called an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, fits into a home’s plumbing between the pressure tank and water softener. Its operations make water far more appealing, and much less harmful.

The iron filter system uses two fiberglass tanks. The first tank oxygenates water to divide out impurities; the second introduces minerals to remove the impurities. Once done, the treated water flows into the water softener.

Adding a filter implements an immediate difference in home water conditions. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t stain. Many Portland residents ponder, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Are you prepared? If you desire a new or replacement iron/sulfur water filter in Portland contact Kelly James Service. Its plumbing practitioners are gurus at diagnosing water issues, and delivering solutions to create the absolute best water quality.

A filter system should be serviced every two to three years to clean out iron from the tanks. Correctly maintained, an iron filter or filter for sulfur water smell can operate more than two decades.

A Portland home’s water can shift over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might draw from an underground water with different properties. If stains or smells appear later, a filter might be a smart investment.
