Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unwelcome elements of a home’s water are nearly impossible to pass by.

Homeowners of Lake Ripley can notice reddish blemishes on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – points to elevated iron content. A bothersome odor, like rotten eggs, points to elevated sulfur content.

One filter can solve both … and offer instant respite from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, commonly called an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, is installed 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 involves two fiberglass tanks. The first tank oxygenates water to shake out impurities; the second employs minerals to remove the impurities. Once done, the treated water goes into the water softener.

Adding a filter makes an immediate change in home water quality. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t stain. Many Lake Ripley homeowners think, “Why didn’t we do this before?”
