Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

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

Residents of Washington County can notice reddish blemishes on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – points to elevated iron level. A nasty odor, like rotten eggs, signifies beyond-acceptable sulfur level.

A single filter can take care of both … and offer immediate relief from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, usually called an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, goes 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 uses minerals to remove the impurities. Once finished, the treated water moves into the water softener.

Installing a filter makes an instant transformation in home water quality. Water smells far more appealing. It doesn’t leave blemishes. Many Washington County residents think, “Why didn’t we do this earlier?”

A Washington County home’s water can morph over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might tap an underground water source with different properties. If stains or smells show up later, a filter might be advisable.
