Common well-water concerns
The signs are hard to miss
Iron and sulfur can show up in different ways throughout your home. A water test identifies what is actually in your water before a system is recommended.
Rotten-egg odor
Hydrogen sulfide can create a sulfur smell, especially when water has been sitting in the plumbing.
Metallic taste
Dissolved iron and manganese can affect the taste of drinking water, coffee, and ice.
Recurring cleanup
Stains and odor often return after cleaning when the source is untreated water.
How it works
One system. A water-specific recommendation.
Iron Breaker systems use air oxidation and catalytic filtration to address iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide at the point where water enters your home. The system is selected after testing your water and reviewing your household needs.

Questions answered
Iron and sulfur treatment FAQs
Can an Iron Breaker help with rotten-egg smell?
An Iron Breaker may be recommended when testing identifies hydrogen sulfide, the gas commonly associated with a rotten-egg odor. The right treatment depends on the level of sulfur and other water conditions.
Will an iron filter remove orange stains?
Iron treatment can address the dissolved iron that causes orange or rust-colored staining. Existing stains may still need cleaning, but treating the source helps prevent new buildup.
Do I need a water test before choosing an iron filter?
Yes. A water test helps identify iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, hardness, and other conditions so the treatment recommendation matches your home.
Is this only for private well water?
Iron and sulfur concerns are most common with private wells, but a water test is the best way to understand the source of a specific odor, taste, or stain.
