More About Iron Issues
EXCESSIVE IRON CONTENT
Excessive iron issues in your water is typically characterized by the ugly red or brown colored staining in your plumbing fixtures, sinks, toilets and laundry.
With well water, iron typically occurs in a ferrous state. That means, the flowing water typically looks clear.
However, once the water is exposed to the air, the iron transforms into a ferric/ oxidized state. The clear water will turn red or brown and insoluble “rust” type material will form.
- Iron staining can be easily caused by as low as only 0.3 milligrams per liter (mg/L).
- Depending on the iron content concentration, we have several solutions to this ugly and aggravating water problem.
- A quality iron filter will filter out this excessive iron content.

Iron Filter Questions, Answered
How do I size an iron filter for my well?
Size it to your well pump's flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM), not just to the size of your house. A backwashing iron filter needs enough flow to lift and rinse the media bed, so a pump that's too small for the tank means poor cleaning and iron bleed-through. To find your GPM, time how long your pump takes to fill a 5-gallon bucket, then pick the model rated for that flow. Not sure? Call our water experts at 866-278-4130.
Which filter is best for sulfur (rotten-egg) smell?
An air-injection oxidation (AIO) filter, such as the SoftPro AIO Iron Master, is the usual choice when the smell comes with iron or manganese: air in the tank oxidizes the hydrogen sulfide and the iron, the media traps them, and backwashing flushes them to drain. If the smell is only in your hot water, the cause may be the water heater's anode rod rather than your well. Test first, and send us your results if you're unsure.
Does a Birm filter need a certain pH?
Yes. Birm only removes iron when the water's pH is 7.0 or higher and the water carries enough dissolved oxygen. If your pH is below 7, raise it first with a calcite pH neutralizer, or choose a different type of iron filter.
Should I test my water before buying an iron filter?
Yes. The right filter depends on your water's iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, pH and hardness. A test tells you which filter fits and whether you also need a water softener or a pH neutralizer. Start with one of our water test kits.
What does an iron filter need to backwash?
Three things: a drain that can handle the backwash flow, a standard outlet for the control valve, and enough flow from your well pump to rinse the media bed. The valve runs the backwash automatically on its schedule, usually overnight when no one is using water.
