Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unappreciated attributes of a house's water are hard to pass by.

Homeowners of Big Bend can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – points to elevated iron level. A nasty odor, like rotten eggs, points to elevated sulfur content.

One filter can take care of both … and offer immediate respite from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, typically named 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 problematic.

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 completed, the treated water moves into the water softener.

Installing a filter implements an instant change in home water properties. Water smells better. It won’t leave blemishes. Many Big Bend residents think, “Why didn’t we do this earlier?”

Are you ready? If you want a new or replacement iron/sulfur water filter in Big Bend contact Kelly James Service. Its plumbing professionals are gurus at identifying water problems, and providing solutions to create the absolute best water quality.

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

A Big Bend 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 appear later, a filter might be advisable.

Kelly James Service can assess your water and suggest steps to improve it. We all use water – why not make it as good as it can possibly be?
