Home Iron and Sulfur Removal System

Iron and hydrogen sulfide have to be oxidised before anything can filter them out, and a softener is built for hardness alone. This system oxidises first and filters second, turning both into particles it can physically remove, so the orange staining and the rotten-egg smell are treated at the source.

An injection panel feeds hydrogen peroxide from its holding tank into the incoming water, which oxidises the iron and the hydrogen sulfide. The water then runs through granular activated catalytic coconut shell carbon, which captures what the oxidising step has turned into particles. The system also includes a salt and brine tank. The result is clear, odour-free water at every tap and the end of rust stains in the sink and the laundry.

Usually wells, but any home can qualify. Orange staining and a rotten-egg smell are most common on private wells in the western county, The Acreage and Loxahatchee included, yet any home showing either sign is a candidate. EPA lists iron (rusty colour, reddish or orange staining) and rotten-egg odour among its secondary, aesthetic standards, and private well owners are responsible for their own water, so the free test at your tap is the place to start.

The Well Water Dual Tank handles typical well water, with Katalox Light for iron alongside softening and carbon. This system is the dedicated answer when iron and sulfur are the main problem, because it adds a proper oxidation stage before the carbon. The free test measures your iron and sulfur, so your quote names the right system, with one exact price and installation included, before you decide.
