Well water often contains Iron, which may stain plumbing fixtures, bathtubs, shower walls and doors. Iron can also stain sidewalks, driveways and add a metallic taste to your water. Hydrogen Sulfide may also be present, resulting in “rotten egg” or Sulfur odors. Manganese may also be a problem, leaving black spots on plumbing fixtures. Iron Zapper systems from Safeway Water remove Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide and Manganese without using chemicals in most installations.

Iron and manganese are common water problems, especially in homes using well water. While they may not always be obvious when water first comes from the faucet, they can create frustrating problems throughout your home.

Customers dealing with elevated iron or manganese may notice:

• Orange, red, brown, or black staining on toilets, sinks, tubs, showers, and fixtures. 
• Metallic taste or odor that can make drinking and cooking water unpleasant. 
• Stained laundry, particularly whites and lighter-colored clothing. 
• Discolored or cloudy water, sometimes appearing clear initially and changing color after exposure to air. 
• Black staining from manganese, which can be especially difficult to clean. 
• Buildup in plumbing and appliances that can restrict flow and affect water-using equipment. 
• Iron bacteria symptoms, such as reddish-brown slime, odors, or deposits. Iron bacteria is a separate issue from dissolved iron and may require additional treatment. 

The important thing is that not all iron and manganese problems are the same. The concentration, water chemistry, pH, hardness, and type of iron present can determine which treatment method will work best.

At Omaha H2O, we believe in testing the water first and then recommending equipment designed around the actual problem—not simply installing a standard water softener and hoping it takes care of everything.
