Smelly or Foul-Smelling Water?

Some uninvited qualities of a house's water are difficult to pass by.

Homeowners of Ottawa can notice reddish staining on fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers – suggests high iron content. A putrid odor, like rotten eggs, signifies beyond-acceptable sulfur content.

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

This filter system, typically 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 processes make water far more appealing, and much less detrimental.

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

Adding a filter implements an instant difference in home water properties. Water smells far more appealing. It won’t stain. Many Ottawa homeowners ask, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Are you prepared? If you need a new or replacement iron/sulfur water filter in Ottawa contact Kelly James Service. Its plumbing professionals are gurus at identifying water issues, and providing solutions to ensure the absolute best water quality.

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

A Ottawa home’s water can shift over time. Drilling a new well, for example, might draw from an underground water vein with different properties. If stains or smells appear afterward, a filter might be recommended.

Kelly James Service can check your water and advise on steps to improve it. We all need water – why not make it as good as it can possibly be?
