Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unappreciated traits of a house's water are difficult to miss.

Homeowners of Portland can notice reddish staining on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – points to elevated iron content. A putrid odor, like rotten eggs, points to high sulfur content.

A single filter can solve both … and provide instant respite from these annoying symptoms.

This filter system, regularly named an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, is added into a home’s plumbing between the pressure tank and water softener. Its operations make water far more inviting, and much less harmful.

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

Adding a filter creates an instant difference in home water quality. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t stain. Many Portland homeowners think, “Why didn’t we do this before?”

Are you ready? If you need a new or replacement iron/sulfur water filter in Portland contact Kelly James Service. Its plumbing professionals are masters at figuring out water issues, and offering solutions to ensure the absolute best water quality.

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

A Portland home’s water can morph over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might utilize an underground water vein with different properties. If stains or smells appear afterward, a filter might be advisable.
