Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some unwelcome characteristics of a home’s water are hard to miss.

Residents of Durham can notice reddish blemishes on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – indicates elevated iron content. A bothersome aroma, like rotten eggs, signifies elevated sulfur content.

A single filter can take care of both … and provide immediate respite from these unmistakeable symptoms.

This filter system, usually termed an iron water filter or sulfur filter for well water, fits into a home’s plumbing between the pressure tank and water softener. Its operations make water far more appealing, and much less damaging.

The iron filter system uses two fiberglass tanks. The first tank oxygenates water to shake out impurities; the second uses minerals to remove the impurities. Once finished, the treated water transfers into the water softener.

Installing a filter creates an immediate transformation in home water properties. Water smells better. It doesn’t leave blemishes. Many Durham residents ask, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”
