What Causes Iron in Water?
Iron in water typically comes from:
- Natural deposits in the soil or bedrock
- Corroding pipes and fixtures
- Rust dislodged from aging well components
- High levels of hardness combined with iron minerals
There are different types of iron in water—dissolved (ferrous), oxidized (ferric), or organic-bound iron—and each may require a different type of treatment.
How We Remove Iron and Rust
At ClearWave, we build custom systems designed to remove iron while protecting your plumbing and appliances. Depending on your water test results, we may recommend:
- Air-injection or oxidation filters to convert and trap dissolved iron
- Spin-down or sediment filters to catch rust particles
- Water softeners to handle low levels of ferrous iron and reduce hardness
Each setup is properly sized and professionally installed by our local team.
