Home > Iron Removal filters

Iron is a common problem in water, especially well water. It commonly manifests itself as orange or brown spots on fixtures. We provide a full range of iron removal filters, from small 10"x2.5" cartridges to whole house and light commercial iron removal systems.

 

Two typical sources of iron contamination exist: metal iron, which can stain laundry, plumbing fixtures and changes taste. When exposed to air, metal iron turns into rust. The second contaminant is iron bacteria. Typically, iron bacteria will look like a brown slime on screens, pipes, plumbing, water hiters, in toilet tanks etc. It can also cause an odor. Use Ida's iron check water test to detect metal iron, and NTL WaterCheck Iron Bacteria Water Test (which you have to send to a lab) to detect bacteria-based iron.
