Source
Natural deposits in ground water.
Treatment
Whole House Systems:

  • MetalMaster(tm)

  • Well Water System Package #3

  • SedimentMaster(tm)



    • Ferrous Iron (clear water iron) is readily converted to ferric iron (red water iron) in the presence of any air or oxidizing material; Ferrous Iron would be treated with the MetalMaster/Arsenic Master(tm), if iron bacteria is present an inline chlorinator(tm) is necessary to breakdown iron bacteria and allow the MetalMaster/ArsenicMaster(tm) to work properly. When an inline chlorinator(tm) is used, always use a carbon filter to remove the chlorine
    Additional Information
    A very common element often present in groundwater in amounts ranging from 0.01 to 10.0 ppm (mg/L) Iron can be found in three forms

    1. Soluble form as in ferrous bicarbonate.
    2. Bound with a soluble organic compound
    3. As suspended ferric iron particles

    The effects can be: Rusty color; sediment; metallic taste; reddish or orange staining.

    Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) = 0.3 mg/L or ppm
