Removing Iron From Water

Michaeljp86

Does anyone have a idea on how to remove most of the iron from well water? Im working on a crappy apartment building with alot of iron in the water. All the plumbing places want to sell you their system for $3000. They say the water will be so clean. But all we would like to do is just get most of the iron out, it settles in the water heaters and toilet tanks. Id like to get most of it out of the water before it gets there.

I would go and get a charcoal tank that you can hook to the system. The homes here go to the local water softner componay to get them. They are really easy to hook up the tank is about 4 feet tall 8" round set it right next to the presser tank for the well make sure you have a blow down for when you replace the tank.

Good luck

You can check these guys out and see if it is something you might want.

Less than 1/2 price of what your talking, I don't know any more about these guys than what you see on their site, and have never bought from them so take due diligence.

This here also has some info you might be interested in.
