Iron, Sulfur & Bacteria Well System — Chlorination (Heavy-Duty)
The problem
Do you struggle with heavy iron, sulfur, or bacteria in your well water? These contaminants cause foul odors, unpleasant tastes, staining, and can pose health risks. Standard air-injection systems often can’t handle high levels of these impurities effectively.
Without proper treatment, your water may damage plumbing, appliances, and even affect your family’s health. That’s why a robust, multi-stage system designed specifically for heavy contaminants is essential to restore clean, safe, and great-tasting water throughout your home.
This system solves the toughest well water issues by combining chlorination with advanced filtration and softening, ensuring every drop meets your household’s needs.
How it works — the chlorination treatment train
This Heavy-Duty Chlorination Well System uses a five-stage treatment train engineered for high levels of iron, sulfur, and bacteria. First, a chlorinator pump injects a precise dose of chlorine to oxidize iron and sulfur particles and disinfect bacteria.
The treated water then sits in a retention/contact tank, allowing chlorine time to fully react and neutralize contaminants. Next, the Fleck 5810 catalytic carbon filter removes the spent chlorine along with the oxidized iron and sulfur.
Following that, a Fleck 5600SXT metered water softener removes hardness minerals, protecting your pipes and appliances. Finally, a Nelsen Premier 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis system provides bottled-quality drinking water at your kitchen tap. Maintenance involves periodic refilling of the chlorine solution tank, standard softener salt replenishment, and membrane replacement per RO system guidelines.

Frequently asked questions
What contaminants does this system remove?
It effectively removes heavy iron, hydrogen sulfide (sulfur odors), bacteria, hardness minerals, chlorine residuals, and improves taste and odor.
How does the chlorination process work?
A metered pump injects chlorine to oxidize iron and sulfur and kill bacteria. Water then holds in a contact tank to allow chlorine to work before filtration.
What maintenance is required?
You’ll need to refill the 35-gallon chlorine solution tank periodically, replenish water softener salt, and replace the RO membranes and filters as recommended.
Is this system suitable for all well water?
It’s designed specifically for high levels of iron, sulfur, and bacteria that exceed typical air injection system limits.
Does it include everything needed for installation?
Yes, every filtration stage includes tanks, control heads, bypass valves, fittings, water test strip, and an install guide with video.
Can the system be sized for my household?
Absolutely. Expert sizing is free—simply take the 60-second quiz or submit your water test for a tailored recommendation.
