NOT SURE WHICH FILTER IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Why you should filter iron from well water?

Well water may look pure, but many owners face the same issue: rust-colored stains, cloudy water, or a metallic taste.

The reason lies in dissolved iron, manganese, and organic compounds like tannins. Once exposed to oxygen, the iron oxidizes – leaving visible deposits.

This can lead to:

  • buildup in pipes, taps, and appliances
  • rust or dark stains in sinks, toilets, and laundry
  • reduced water pressure and shorter appliance life
  • unpleasant taste and smell

A modern well water iron filter removes these impurities effectively – without chemicals and with minimal maintenance. You’ll protect your plumbing, save energy, and enjoy crystal-clear water every day.

FAQ: How to remove iron from well water – your questions answered

  • For the best performance, we recommend professional installation by an authorized Ecosoft partner.

  • The captured iron is flushed out during regeneration, keeping your filter system efficient and long-lasting.

  • Yes. Ecosoft filters can upgrade most existing systems. You just need sufficient pump pressure and, ideally, a recent water analysis to ensure proper setup.

  • Almost never! The system regenerates automatically. Just refill the salt tank every few weeks – the rest takes care of itself.

  • Small amounts aren’t dangerous, but higher iron concentrations affect taste, hygiene, and plumbing. Experts recommend filtering iron before the water enters your home system.

  • Brownish stains, cloudy water, or a metallic taste are clear signs of dissolved iron. If you let it sit, you’ll often see a rusty film forming at the bottom of the glass.

  • By adsorption and autocatalytic oxidation. Iron and manganese are oxidized and trapped within the media, while tannins and organic matter are removed through sorption — resulting in clear, great-tasting water.

  • Yes, modern technologies like Ecosoft’s ECOMIX® remove iron, manganese, and organics effectively – even when water quality fluctuates. That’s how to remove iron from well water safely and reliably.

  • ECOMIX is the best media to remove iron from well or borehole water. Though the choice depends on the iron type and its levels.

  • The iron filtration perfectly removes metal taste and smell, which results in fresh, clean water.

  • When water is rich in ferrous iron, it comes out of the tap clear, but when it contacts oxygen, it becomes brown and leaves rusty-orange stains. Water rich in ferric iron contains tiny flakes of rust and comes out of the tap already reddish.

Signs of High Iron Content in Water

When the iron content in water exceeds 0.3 mg/L, it is considered high, which causes many problems, including an unpleasant water taste and flavour. The laundry becomes brown, and stubborn reddish staining appears on surfaces contacting water. Visual indicators include discolouration of water, looking a little bit brown when coming out of the tap. The pressure in pipes can decrease because of the iron scale built up in them.

 

How Do Іron Water Filtration Systems Work

Ecosoft iron water filtration systems are based on the use of the ECOMIX technology that removes iron, manganese, hardness, ammonium, and tannins at the same time. A multipurpose media replaces several different filters, providing a consistent, brilliant result. 

ECOMIX contains synthetic and natural ion-exchange resins, including the patented component FerroSorb that traps all types of iron. This all-in-one media regenerates and lasts for about 5 years before replacement.

 

Types of Iron Filters for Well Water

Ecosoft’s catalogue includes softeners with ECOMIX media of several types that differ in:

  • primary application (to treat water with moderate or heavy content of organic matter);
  • organic removal efficiency.

These effects depend on the formula, which consists of the same components but with the mass fraction of a particular component in the blend being changed to enhance a target product feature.

 

Benefits of Іron Water Filtration Systems for Well Water

The Ecosoft iron filter includes several water treatment stages. The media replaces ions of undesired minerals and absorbs other contaminants, protecting kitchen appliances, plumbing, and other household equipment from scale and red stains. Treated water becomes tasty, ideal for delicious coffee. Due to the all-in-one concept, it has a simple design and a compact size. ECOMIX ensures reliable water purification with consistent results. It is ACS certified for use in drinking water systems.

 

Maintenance of Iron Water Filters

The water softener media is regenerated automatically by using a brine. Salt levels in the brine tank should be monitored. It must always be above the water level. When the salt decreases below the limit, it should be added. The frequency of tank replenishment depends on water composition and the intensity of filtration during the day. Typically, it is checked every month or two. Also, from time to time, a resin cleaner should be added. Once a year, the brine tank should be emptied and cleaned.
