When city water carries a heavy burden of hardness and iron, your home pays the price in stubborn orange stains, dry, itchy skin, and clogged pipes that drive up maintenance costs. This harsh combination dulls fixtures, ruins appliances, and leaves laundry dingy—turning daily life into a constant battle against contaminated water. Without the right solution, these symptoms erode both comfort and the value of your home.

The system that fixes it

The Fleck City Hard Water + Iron System is engineered specifically to tackle the dual challenge of city water hardness and iron contamination head-on.

How the media works

The system’s secret lies in its specialized media blend. First, the iron filtration media captures and oxidizes dissolved iron particles in the water, turning them into tiny solids that can be filtered out before they enter your plumbing. This step prevents the telltale orange stains and metallic taste associated with iron. After iron removal, the softening resin exchanges hard minerals like calcium and magnesium for sodium, softening the water to protect your skin and household fixtures. Together, this combination ensures that city water contaminated with both hardness and iron is treated thoroughly and efficiently, leaving you with crystal-clear, gentle water every day.
