Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited qualities of a house's water are difficult to pass by.

Residents of Washington County can notice reddish staining on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – signifies elevated iron content. A putrid aroma, like rotten eggs, points to elevated sulfur level.

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

This filter system, usually termed an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, gets installed into a home’s plumbing between the pressure tank and water softener. Its processes make water far more inviting, and much less detrimental.

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

Adding a filter creates an immediate difference in home water quality. Water smells better. It won’t stain. Many Washington County residents think, “Why didn’t we do this before?”

A Washington County home’s water can change over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might draw from an underground water source with different properties. If stains or smells show up afterward, a filter might be in order.
