Well Water Iron Filtration Systems in Tampa

Expert Solutions for Iron-Free Well Water in Tampa Bay

At Aquatech Systems of Tampa Bay, we specialize in providing effective well water iron filtration systems to homeowners in the Tampa Bay area. Iron is a common issue in well water, causing stains, metallic tastes, and potential damage to plumbing and appliances. Our advanced filtration solutions ensure your well water is clean, clear, and free from iron contaminants.

Why Iron is Common in Well Water

Iron is naturally present in the earth’s crust and can dissolve into groundwater, making it a common contaminant in well water. There are two primary forms of iron found in well water:

• Ferrous Iron: Also known as clear-water iron, this form of iron is dissolved in water and is not visible until it oxidizes.
• Ferric Iron: Also known as red-water iron, this form is already oxidized and appears as rust-colored particles in the water.

The presence of iron in well water can lead to several issues, including:

• Staining of plumbing fixtures, laundry, and appliances
• Metallic taste in drinking water and food
• Clogging and damage to plumbing and water-using appliances
• Potential growth of iron bacteria, which can create slime and foul odors

How We Remove Iron from Well Water

Our well water iron filtration systems are designed to effectively remove both ferrous and ferric iron, ensuring your water is clean and safe. Here are the various types of filtration methods we offer:

Oxidizing Filters

Oxidizing filters use a media such as manganese greensand or Birm® to oxidize and filter out iron. These filters are highly effective for removing both ferrous and ferric iron. The oxidized iron is then trapped in the media bed and periodically backwashed out.

Air Injection Oxidation

This method involves injecting air into the water to oxidize the iron. The oxidized iron is then filtered out by a media bed. Air injection systems are effective for high iron concentrations and do not require chemical regenerants.

Water Softener Systems

Water softeners can remove low levels of ferrous iron by exchanging iron ions with sodium or potassium ions. However, they are generally not recommended for high iron concentrations as they can become clogged and less effective over time.

Chemical Oxidation

Chemical oxidants such as chlorine or hydrogen peroxide are injected into the water to oxidize the iron. The oxidized iron is then filtered out through a multimedia filter. This method is effective for high iron levels and can also address other contaminants like manganese and sulfur.

Reverse Osmosis Systems

Reverse osmosis (RO) systems use a semi-permeable membrane to remove iron and other dissolved solids from the water. RO systems are highly effective but are typically used for drinking water applications rather than whole-house filtration due to their slower filtration rate.
