Iron and sulfur can turn otherwise good well water into a daily frustration.
Iron can cause orange or rusty staining on toilets, tubs, sinks, fixtures, and laundry. Sulfur can produce the unmistakable rotten-egg odor in your water.
The Pristine Water Treatment Iron Breaker uses an oxidation process to address iron and sulfur without the complicated chemical-feed equipment traditionally used for these problems.
The system creates an air pocket inside the treatment tank. As water passes through, iron and sulfur are oxidized so the treatment media can capture them. During regeneration, the system automatically backwashes away the trapped material.
No chemical feed. No rotten-egg smell. No more fighting iron stains.
1. What causes iron stains in well water?
Iron in well water can cause orange, yellow, or rusty stains on toilets, sinks, tubs, fixtures, and laundry. Dissolved iron can also build up inside plumbing and water treatment equipment. An iron filtration system such as the Pristine Water Treatment Iron Breaker can help remove iron before it causes these problems throughout your home.
2. What causes the rotten-egg smell in well water?
A rotten-egg odor is commonly associated with sulfur compounds in well water. Sulfur can create unpleasant odors in drinking water, showers, sinks, and throughout the home. The Pristine Water Treatment Iron Breaker uses an oxidation process to address sulfur without the need for traditional chemical-feed equipment.
3. How does an iron and sulfur filter work?
The Iron Breaker uses an oxidation process to convert dissolved iron and sulfur into particles that can be captured by catalytic filtration media. The system stores an air pocket inside the treatment tank, allowing oxidation to occur as water passes through. During regeneration, the system backwashes the captured material and replenishes the air pocket.
4. Can an iron filter remove both iron and sulfur from well water?
Yes. The Pristine Water Treatment Iron Breaker is designed to control both iron and sulfur in residential well water. It can help reduce iron staining, sulfur odors, iron buildup in plumbing, and fouling of other water treatment equipment.
5. Does an iron filter require chemicals or an air compressor?
The Pristine Water Treatment Iron Breaker is designed to treat iron and sulfur using an oxidation process without traditional chemical-feed equipment, air compressors, aerators, or external venturis. This provides a simpler approach to addressing common iron and sulfur problems in well water.
