Have you ever noticed unsightly iron and rust stains on your sinks, tubs and even laundry? Iron in water is a common issue that many homeowners face, especially if they rely on well water. High levels of iron in water not only cause stains but also affect the taste, smell and overall quality of the water at your home. However, there is a reliable solution for this problem, installing Kinetico filtration systems. Let’s understand how these filters can help remove iron and other metals from your water, offering you a steady supply of clean and safe water for all your needs.

Understanding the Problem

Iron is naturally present in the earth’s crust, so it often finds its way into underground water as it passes through soil and rocks. Although iron is not harmful to human health, it can make your water less pleasant to use.

One of the most noticeable problems that iron causes is the rust-colored staining it leaves behind on household appliances, plumbing fixtures and clothes. Removing these stains is quite hard and they can make your home look dirty even when it is actually clean. While drinking water that has iron in it you might notice that it has a metallic taste or an offputting smell that is similar to rotten eggs, this is especially the case if your water contains both iron and sulfur. Although iron’s impact on your home’s plumbing won’t be visible initially, in the long run, it will cause build-up in pipes and lead to clogging and reduced water pressure.

How Kinetico Filters Remove Iron and Other Metals

Kinetico filtration systems are engineered to tackle the specific problems caused by iron and other contaminants in your water. Here’s how they work:

  • Oxidation and Filtration: Kinetico filters remove iron from your water by a process called oxidation. In this process, the system adds oxygen to the water, which causes the iron particles to oxidize and solidify. After the iron turns solid it is easily filtered out, leaving you with clean and safe water. 

 

  • Multi-Stage Filtration: These systems follow a multi-stage filtration process to remove a wide range of contaminants like iron, manganese, sulfur, chemicals, pathogens and other metals. This helps elevate the quality, taste and smell of your water.

 

  • Non-Electric Operation: A unique feature of these filters is that they run on the power of moving water, this makes them highly efficient and low-maintenance. As these filters don’t need electricity to operate, they are quite useful during power outages and can be your reliable source of water.
