Iron Removal Solutions That Restore Clean, Clear Water
Rust stains on sinks, toilets, clothing, and appliances are more than just an eyesore. Iron in your water can damage fixtures, shorten the life of your plumbing, and leave your water looking, smelling, and tasting unpleasant. If you are constantly fighting reddish or orange stains, the problem is not your cleaning routine. It is your water.
American Water provides professional iron removal systems that eliminate iron at the source. By installing the right solution for your home or office, we help stop staining, protect your plumbing, and deliver clean, refreshing water you can trust every day.
Why Iron in Your Water Requires the Right Solution
Iron is not a one-size-fits-all issue. Different types of iron behave differently in water, and choosing the wrong system can leave the problem unresolved. That is why proper testing and system selection are critical.
Our experienced team analyzes your water to determine both the type and amount of iron present. From there, we recommend a system designed specifically for your water conditions, ensuring long-lasting results rather than temporary fixes.
Understanding the Types of Iron in Your Water
- Oxidized Iron: Appears as red particles in your water. Because of oxidized iron’s ability to clog, instead of a cartridge filter, we recommend removing the iron in your water by using an iron removal medium.
- Soluble Iron: Commonly referred to as clear water. Soluble iron comes out of the tap as clear water and oxidizes once exposed to air. This creates rust particles in your drinking water. At American Water, we can provide you with the right iron removal products for your soluble iron problem, including a water softener with an iron removal filter to remove any iron and leave your water clean.
- Colloidal Iron: Classified as water containing iron that is combined with other organic materials. This appears as small particles and produces a yellow or brownish color to your water. To remove the colloidal iron from your water, we provide our customers with a chlorine feeder that will oxidize the organic material away from the iron.
- Bacterial Iron: When bacteria feasts on the iron found in water and pipes, it creates bacterial iron in your drinking water. Appearing as a reddish or greenish slime, bacterial iron follows the water’s path and is often found in toilet tanks. At American Water, we aggressively combat bacterial iron through a continuous feed of high doses of chlorine into your water to disinfect the bacteria and leave your water clean and clear.
Iron Removal Systems Designed for Your Water
Every iron removal system we offer is designed to oxidize iron and rust so it can be removed through specialized media or resin. However, factors such as water pH, iron concentration, and additional water quality issues all influence which system will perform best.
That is why we provide free water testing. By understanding your water completely, we ensure the system installed in your home or office delivers effective, reliable iron removal without unnecessary equipment or guesswork.
