Keep Contaminants Out of Your Water with Iron Removers

A whole-home iron removal filter is an affordable and effective way to reduce your exposure to high levels of iron in your water supply. While iron is classified as a secondary contaminant by the EPA, meaning that it is not dangerous—it is nevertheless unsettling to see water discoloration, experience the foul taste, or notice the ill-effects that iron-riddled water can have on your appliances.

At West Coast Pumps & Filtration, our licensed team understands how helpful an iron remover can be, which is why our professionals offer the highest quality iron removal filter installation, repair, and maintenance solutions to homes throughout Olympia, Thurston County, and surrounding areas.

How Does Iron in Water Affect Your Property?

While iron is an essential mineral for humans, even a small amount can wreak havoc on your property. From harsh stains to more frequent clogs, your home might show signs of excess iron before you ever notice.

4 ways iron can affect your home:

Plumbing appliances, like toilets and showers, that are attached to your well system can start to become stained in rusty red, brown, orange, or yellow hues.
Water from faucets can become discolored and start to taste and smell bitter or metallic.
Iron residue can build up in your pipes over time, which can restrict water flow and cause more frequent clogs.
When minerals build up in your pipes, it can weaken them to the point of failure, causing leaks or even bursts.

If you have noticed any of the above issues, it is time to call West Coast Pumps & Filtration. We carry a wide array of state-of-the-art iron remover filters and are confident we can find the perfect system for your home.

Benefits of Installing an Iron Remover

Installing an iron remover in your water system offers several benefits. It helps remove iron from your water, which can prevent rust stains on your sinks, tubs, and laundry. This also improves the taste and smell of your water, making it more pleasant to drink and use.

Additionally, removing iron can protect your pipes and appliances from buildup, extending their lifespan and saving you money on repairs. Overall, an iron remover helps keep your water clean and your home in better condition.

Should You Repair or Install an Iron Remover?

If your water has high iron levels, installing an iron remover is often better than just repairing existing issues. Repairing can fix the immediate problems like rust stains or clogged pipes, but without an iron remover, the iron in your water will continue to cause issues over time.

Installing an iron remover addresses the root cause by removing the iron, preventing future damage and saving you from ongoing repairs. It’s a long-term solution that helps keep your water clean and your home protected.

How Iron Removers Work: The Process Explained

Iron removers are essential for improving water quality, and understanding how they work can help you make an informed decision. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

Water Intake: The iron remover filter is installed directly into your home's water system, typically at the point where water enters the house.
Filtration: As water flows through the filter, it passes through a specialized medium that targets and traps iron particles.
Oxidation: The filter causes the iron particles in the water to oxidize, turning them into solid rust particles that are easy to filter out.
Removal & Discharge: The system removes the oxidized particles and discharges them, ensuring that only clean, iron-free water flows through your pipes and appliances.

With this process, your home’s water is purified, free from iron contamination, and ready for safe use.

How to Maintain Your Iron Remover Filter

While iron removers are low-maintenance, proper care can extend their lifespan and ensure they continue to provide clean water. Here are some key maintenance tips:

Regular Cleaning: Iron remover filters require periodic cleaning to remove accumulated iron deposits. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning intervals.
Monitor Performance: Pay attention to water quality. If you notice signs of iron buildup (e.g., discoloration or taste issues), it may be time to clean or replace the filter.
Check the Salt Supply (for salt-based systems): Some iron remover systems require a salt supply to aid in regeneration. Make sure you maintain an adequate amount of salt to keep the system running efficiently.
Professional Inspection: Have a professional inspect your system regularly to ensure it’s functioning at peak efficiency.

By maintaining your iron remover filter, you can enjoy long-term benefits of clean water, reduced stains, and appliance protection.

Commonly Asked Questions

How Do You Use Iron Remover?

Iron remover is typically installed as part of your home’s water filtration system, where it treats water as it enters your plumbing. The device works automatically, and once it’s in place, you simply let it filter the water. There’s no need for ongoing active use – just ensure that it is maintained regularly to continue working efficiently.

Where Should You Install an Iron Filter?

An iron filter should be installed at the main water entry point of your home, typically near where the water line enters the basement or utility room. This ensures that the filter treats all the water before it travels through your pipes, faucets, and appliances. Consulting a professional is recommended to ensure proper installation.

How Long Do You Leave Iron Remover on?

Iron removers are typically left in place to function continuously. Once installed, the system works automatically and doesn’t need to be removed or manually operated. If you’re using an iron remover product in a specific treatment, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended duration, usually a few hours, to ensure effective results.

Can an Iron Remover Remove Other Contaminants?

While iron removers are specifically designed to target and eliminate iron from your water supply, many modern systems are also capable of removing other contaminants like manganese and sulfur. If you have additional water quality concerns, discuss them with a professional to see if a multi-purpose system is right for you.

How Often Should an Iron Remover Be Serviced?

It’s recommended that you have your iron remover serviced once a year to ensure it’s working properly. The maintenance schedule might vary depending on the model, but regular servicing helps to keep the system functioning at its best, prolonging its life and efficiency.

What Are the Signs That My Iron Remover Needs Repair?

If you begin noticing issues like discolored water, foul smells, or taste problems, it could indicate that your iron remover filter needs attention. A drop in water pressure or frequent clogs in your plumbing can also be signs that your system isn't performing effectively and may need repairs or maintenance.

What is the Best Iron Remover for Olympia’s Water Quality?

Olympia’s water supply has a specific mineral profile, which means the ideal iron remover might vary depending on your home's water quality. Local water experts at West Coast Pumps & Filtration can perform a water test and recommend the best system suited to your home’s needs.
