Iron & Hardness Well System — Autotrol (Premium)
The problem
Rusty, hard well water can cause persistent stains, damage to appliances, and poor water taste, significantly affecting your home's comfort and maintenance costs.
Iron and manganese oxidize to create reddish-brown stains on fixtures and laundry, while hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium make water feel rough on skin and hair.
This combination also shortens the life of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, forcing costly repairs and replacements.
How it works — the air-injection + autotrol + ro
This premium system uses a three-stage treatment process designed for well water with iron and hardness issues.
First, the Air-Injection Iron Filter creates an air pocket inside the tank that oxidizes iron and manganese, turning them into particles that are trapped by the filter media—completely chemical-free and automatic.
Next, the Pentair Autotrol Metered Water Softener removes hardness minerals through ion exchange, using a brine tank for regeneration. The premium Pentair Autotrol valve meters water use and initiates regeneration only when needed, saving salt and water.
Finally, the Under-Sink Reverse Osmosis system delivers bottled-quality drinking water right at your kitchen tap by removing residual contaminants, ensuring clean, great-tasting water for your family.
Each stage includes a control head and matching bypass valve for easy service, plus water test strips and expert sizing guidance. Maintenance involves periodic salt refills in the brine tank and scheduled filter changes in the RO system as per manufacturer recommendations.
