Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited elements of a house's water are difficult to overlook.

Residents of Portland can notice reddish blemishes on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – signifies elevated iron level. A nasty odor, like rotten eggs, signifies high sulfur content.

A single filter can address both … and deliver instant relief from these annoying symptoms.

This filter system, commonly called 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 employs 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 transfers into the water softener.

Installing a filter creates an instant transformation in home water quality. Water smells better. It doesn’t stain. Many Portland residents ponder, “Why didn’t we do this before?”

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 operate more than two decades.

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