DIY Iron Removal in Shiocton
Challenge
Jason in Shiocton bought a home which had a significant amount of iron dissolved in their well water. At first the customer thought the existing water softener was not working properly and tried to fix it by adding resin cleaners to the salt, but it wasn’t enough. He then added a spin down sediment filter and 3 iron reducing 20in inline filters in series to try and reduce the iron build up. This helped a little but still was not enough to rid the home of rust colored staining on the water fixtures and appliances.
Solution
Jason decided the home needed professional help and called Clean Water Center. Our office scheduled a no cost, no obligation consultation with him. Our Project Coordinator discussed with him that a fresh start would be the best way to solve the problem outright with a new air charge regenerating iron filter, instead of the inline filters and a new, professional grade water softener instead of the big box store piece he got with the house. This way all the equipment is easy to maintenance, expected to last longer, and will actually handle all the iron in the water for years to come. Jason also added our annual maintenance plan which means we will be out once a year to check up on equipment, deliver salt test the water. He also has a lifetime warranty with the maintenance plan, so if there is ever any issue, he is covered at no extra cost.
