Water Rust and Iron Stains in South Jersey
Are you tired of those rusty-colored stains at your South Jersey home that appear in your toilet bowl, sinks and laundry? At Pure Water Solutions, iron removal from water is one of our specialties.
What Causes Rust Stains in Your South Jersey Water?
Rusty or reddish water is often a sign of iron contamination in your home's water supply. Iron shows up as red, brown or yellow stains, and can enter your South Jersey home's water supply in various ways:
- Natural Iron: In some areas of South Jersey, naturally occurring iron in underground rock formations can leach into groundwater, making iron a common component in well water.
- Corrosion of Pipes: Aging or deteriorating iron pipes and plumbing systems can release iron particles into your water, causing rust.
- Chemical Reactions: Iron in your water can react with oxygen, especially in the presence of certain minerals, leading to the formation of rust particles.
What Problems Can Rust Stains Cause in My South Jersey Home?
While iron itself is not hazardous in typical concentrations, those stubborn stains create major headaches:
- Aesthetic Issues: Rust stains on sinks, bathtubs and clothing are unattractive and difficult to remove.
- Damaged Appliances: Iron deposits can accumulate in appliances such as water heaters and dishwashers, reducing their efficiency and potentially causing expensive repairs or replacements.
- Clogged Pipes: The buildup of rust particles can clog your plumbing, leading to reduced water flow and pressure.
- Metallic Taste and Odor: High iron content in water can impart a metallic taste and odor to your water, making it unpleasant to drink, wash with, and bathe in.
- Stains on Dishes and Clothes: Rust can leave stubborn stains on your dishes, glassware and laundry.
How To Get Rid of Water Rust Stains in Your South Jersey Home
Our experienced technicians will first analyze your water to determine the iron concentration and your optimal treatment plan. Common solutions we recommend include:
- Oxidizing filters to convert dissolved iron into particles that can be filtered out.
- Water softeners to prevent iron from binding to pipes and surfaces.
- Disinfection to control iron bacteria growth.
- Sediment filters to remove iron particles from the water.
- Chemical injection to bind iron and allow removal through filtration
- Distillation systems that remove iron from water through evaporation and condensation.
With the right combination of filtration and purification technologies, we can customize a system to reduce iron levels in the water of your South Jersey home by up to 99%. We'll also share maintenance tips to keep iron under control once treatment is in place.
