Iron in your water can quickly turn everyday tasks into ongoing frustrations. A metallic taste, reddish or orange stains on clothing and dishes, and buildup on appliances are all common signs of excess iron. This issue is especially common in homes with well water or aging water supplies. Left untreated, iron can damage plumbing, shorten the life of appliances, and make your water unpleasant to use.
At American Water, we help homeowners and businesses eliminate iron problems with proven, reliable solutions designed to restore clean, clear, great-tasting water.
Each iron removal system is designed to remove iron from your water, but choosing the right system starts with understanding your water quality. By testing your water and evaluating factors such as iron levels and pH, our experienced team can recommend the most effective solution for your home or office. Our goal is to ensure your system fully eliminates iron while protecting your plumbing and equipment.
Iron Solutions
We offer a variety of iron treatment options based on the type and concentration of iron in your water supply.
- Iron Filters: Designed to effectively remove iron from your drinking water, iron filters also eliminate the metallic taste and odor caused by high iron levels. These systems provide dependable protection for your plumbing, appliances, and water-using equipment.
- Backwashing Systems: Backwashing systems remove iron by filtering water through resin stored inside a mineral tank. Iron and other impurities are trapped in the tank, allowing clean, iron-free water to flow throughout your home. Once the tank becomes saturated, the system automatically backwashes to clean and regenerate the resin for continued performance.
- Iron Reduction Filters: Installed within a whole-house filter housing, iron reduction filters remove iron before it reaches your fixtures and appliances. These filters reduce staining, buildup, and iron residue on toilets, faucets, clothing, and surfaces while improving the taste and smell of your drinking water.
At American Water, our iron solutions help reduce the time and money spent scrubbing stains and repairing iron-related damage. Even small amounts of iron matter, as levels as low as 0.5 parts per million can cause noticeable staining. Our systems safely and effectively remove iron particles, leaving your water clean, clear, and enjoyable to use.
The amount of iron present in your water will determine the appropriate iron solution for your home or office. Call or contact us today for your installation.
