Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited characteristics of a home’s water are difficult to pass by.

Residents of Lake Forest can notice reddish discoloration on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – suggests high iron content. A putrid aroma, like rotten eggs, indicates beyond-acceptable sulfur content.

A single filter can address both … and offer immediate respite from these bothersome symptoms.

This filter system, typically called 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 appealing, and much less harmful.

The iron filter system involves two fiberglass tanks. The first tank oxygenates water to divide out impurities; the second uses minerals to eliminate the impurities. Once finished, the treated water goes into the water softener.

Adding a filter creates an instant difference in home water quality. Water smells better. It won’t stain. Many Lake Forest residents wonder, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

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 last more than two decades.

A Lake Forest home’s water can shift over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might tap an underground water with different properties. If stains or smells appear later, a filter might be recommended.
