Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unwelcome qualities of a house's water are hard to pass by.

Residents of Washington County can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – suggests elevated iron content. A nasty aroma, like rotten eggs, points to beyond-acceptable sulfur content.

A single filter can take care of both … and provide instant respite from these annoying 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 operations make water far more inviting, and much less detrimental.

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 transfers into the water softener.

Adding a filter makes an instant change in home water conditions. Water smells better. It won’t stain. Many Washington County residents ask, “Why didn’t we do this before?”

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

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