Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited elements of a house's water are hard to miss.

Homeowners of Oconomowoc can notice reddish staining on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – indicates high iron level. A putrid aroma, like rotten eggs, points to beyond-acceptable sulfur content.

A single filter can take care of both … and deliver instant respite from these annoying symptoms.

This filter system, usually labeled 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 employs two fiberglass tanks. The first tank oxygenates water to shake out impurities; the second uses minerals to remove the impurities. Once done, the treated water goes into the water softener.

Adding a filter makes an immediate change in home water conditions. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t leave blemishes. Many Oconomowoc residents think, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

A Oconomowoc home’s water can shift over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might draw from an underground water with different properties. If stains or smells show up later, a filter might be a smart investment.
