Tired of Iron, Sulfur & Bacteria?
The problem
Iron, sulfur, and bacteria in your well water isn’t just inconvenient – it’s a triple threat that damages your home and health. Heavy iron causes stubborn reddish-brown staining on fixtures, laundry, and plumbing, while sulfur creates a strong rotten egg odor that makes your water nearly undrinkable. Bacteria contamination adds a serious health risk that no homeowner wants to ignore.
These three contaminants often occur together in wells, making treatment especially difficult. Iron and sulfur particles clog pipes and appliances, reducing their lifespan and efficiency. Meanwhile, bacteria thrive in untreated water, potentially causing illness and biofilm buildup that worsens corrosion and fouling.
Ignoring this problem leads to costly repairs, poor water taste and smell, and a constant worry about water safety. Standard filtration or air-injection systems can’t handle heavy levels of iron, sulfur, and bacteria all at once. What you need is a comprehensive, heavy-duty solution designed specifically for the worst-case well water, one that effectively eliminates staining, odor, and biological contamination together.
How it works — the chlorination & carbon filter that fixes it
The Iron, Sulfur & Bacteria Well System — Chlorination (Heavy-Duty) uses a multi-stage process built to handle heavy contamination. First, a precise chlorinator pump injects chlorine into your water, oxidizing iron and sulfur particles and killing bacteria on contact. This critical step breaks down contaminants into filterable forms and neutralizes harmful microbes.
Next, the water flows into a retention or contact tank, allowing the chlorine time to react fully. This ensures complete oxidation and disinfection before filtration. The treated water then passes through a Fleck 5810 catalytic carbon filter that removes the spent chlorine along with the oxidized iron and sulfur particles, preventing any chlorine taste or odor in your water.
Following filtration, the system includes a metered water softener that removes hardness for smooth water and an advanced 5-stage reverse osmosis unit delivering bottled-quality drinking water at your kitchen tap. Maintenance is straightforward with included bypass valves and a durable 35-gallon solution tank for chlorine feed. Regular checks and refilling the chlorine solution keep your system running efficiently to protect your home and health.

Frequently asked questions
Can this system handle very high levels of iron and sulfur?
Yes, the chlorination process oxidizes heavy iron and sulfur that air-injection systems cannot treat, making this system ideal for severe contamination.
How does the system remove bacteria from the well water?
Chlorine injection kills bacteria during the contact tank stage, effectively disinfecting the water before filtration.
Will I notice chlorine taste or smell in my water?
No, the catalytic carbon filter removes spent chlorine and oxidized particles, delivering clean, odor-free water.
Is a pressure tank included with this system?
No, most wells already have a pressure tank. You can add one if needed using our System Builder tool.
How often do I need to refill the chlorine solution?
Refilling depends on your water usage and contamination levels, but the 35-gallon solution tank reduces refill frequency for convenience.
Does this system soften water as well?
Yes, the included metered water softener removes hardness to protect plumbing and improve water feel throughout your home.
