Iron Filter Installation in Stamping Ground, KY

Iron Filter Installation in Stamping Ground, KY

Iron in well water shows up as orange or brown stains in sinks, tubs and toilets, and as a metallic taste. The EPA secondary standard is 0.3 mg/L. Many wells run well above it. Stamping Ground, KY Well Water Treatment handles iron filter installation in Stamping Ground, KY for homes on private wells.

We start with a test, because the type of iron matters. Clear-water ferrous iron comes out of the tap looking clean and turns orange in the bowl. Red-water ferric iron is already oxidized. Iron bacteria leave a slimy film. Each one calls for a different setup.

Options we install:

• Air-injection oxidizing filters with a birm or katalox bed and an air pocket at the top of the tank
• Greensand filters regenerated with potassium permanganate or chlorine
• Chlorine injection plus a backwashing carbon filter for heavy iron or iron bacteria

We size the tank to your pump's flow rate and backwash needs. A 10x54 tank needs a certain gpm to backwash properly, and an undersized well can starve it. We check that before we set anything.

Well water treatment for iron works best with a sediment prefilter and a softener after it if hardness is also high.
