Iron Filters

No More Orange Stains

Iron in your water leaves ugly orange-brown stains on sinks, tubs, toilets, and laundry. Our iron filters remove dissolved iron and manganese before they ever reach your faucet — keeping your fixtures, clothes, and surfaces clean.

The Problem

Iron Is Everywhere in Florida Water

Central Florida's sandy soil and limestone aquifers are rich in iron. When groundwater picks up dissolved iron, it stays invisible — until it hits air and oxidizes into the orange stains you see on everything.

Stained Fixtures

Orange-brown stains on sinks, tubs, shower walls, and toilets that require constant scrubbing with harsh chemicals.

Ruined Laundry

White clothes come out of the wash yellow or orange. Iron binds to fabric fibers and bleach actually makes the staining worse.

Metallic Taste

Water that tastes metallic or bitter is often loaded with dissolved iron. It affects drinking water, coffee, tea, and anything you cook.

Pipe Clogging

Iron bacteria and oxidized iron particles accumulate inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually causing blockages.

How We Fix It

The Right Iron Filter for Your Water

There's no single "best" iron filter — the right one depends on your iron level, pH, water chemistry, and whether you also have manganese or sulfur. We test first, then recommend.

Air Injection Oxidation

The most common approach for residential wells. We inject air into the water to oxidize dissolved iron, then trap the particles in a catalytic media bed. The system backwashes automatically to flush out the captured iron.

Greensand / Manganese Greensand

A coated filter media that oxidizes iron and manganese on contact. Effective for high iron levels and works well with chlorination for disinfection.

Birm Filtration

A catalytic granular media that accelerates the oxidation of dissolved iron using dissolved oxygen already in the water. Simple, chemical-free, and effective — when water conditions are right.

Chemical Injection + Filtration

For very high iron levels or iron bacteria. We inject a small amount of chlorine or hydrogen peroxide to shock-oxidize the iron, then filter out the particles.

Iron Filter FAQ

Common Iron Filter Questions

What causes orange iron stains in my sinks and toilets?

Dissolved iron in your water — it's invisible underground, but when it hits air it oxidizes (rusts) and leaves orange-brown stains. The higher the iron concentration, the faster and darker the staining. Iron filters remove the iron before it reaches your faucets, stopping stains at the source.

Is iron in water harmful to your health?

Iron itself is not considered a health hazard at typical levels found in drinking water — in fact, it's an essential nutrient. The problem is aesthetic: stains, metallic taste, and damage to plumbing and appliances. However, high iron can indicate other water quality issues, which is why testing is important.

What's the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?

Ferrous iron (clear-water iron) is dissolved and invisible — water looks clear coming out of the tap, then turns orange after sitting. Ferric iron (red-water iron) is already oxidized and visible as particles. Each type requires a different treatment approach, which is why water testing matters.
