WSP Whole House Iron & Sulfur Filter - Rotten-Egg Odor

If your water leaves orange-brown stains on sinks and toilets, or your showers smell like rotten eggs, you’re dealing with iron and sulfur problems. This filter from Water Softener Plus helps reduce both, clearing up water and air in your home.

The problem you’re living with

You notice orange rings around your toilet tank or brown spots on your fixtures. Your coffee or ice might taste metallic or off, and your shower water smells distinctly like rotten eggs. These are signs of iron and sulfur in your water — common issues that spoil the look, smell, and taste of your household water.

Why this is happening

Iron and sulfur often come from well water where underground conditions dissolve iron and foster hydrogen sulfide gas. Iron leaves rust-colored stains, while hydrogen sulfide produces that rotten-egg smell. The best way to confirm this is with a water test that measures iron and sulfide levels together, so you know exactly what you’re up against.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Iron and sulfur can damage your home’s water-using appliances by forming deposits inside pipes and water heaters, reducing their lifespan. You’ll spend more time cleaning stubborn orange stains and scrubbing mineral films off shower doors. Your laundry may look dull or grey, and you’ll need more soap and detergent to get things clean. Leaving these issues untreated only lets them get worse over time.

How this system fixes it

This filter uses a process called oxidation. It adds oxygen to the water to turn dissolved iron and hydrogen sulfide into solid particles. These particles are then trapped in the filter’s media bed. Regular backwashing flushes these particles out, so the filter keeps working without the need for chemicals or complicated treatment steps.

What this system can handle

Designed to reduce both iron and rotten-egg sulfur odors in one unit, this system treats well water with these common contaminants together. It operates automatically with scheduled backwashes to flush out captured particles. Its capacity and flow rate will be chosen to match your household’s water demand and the levels of iron and sulfur found in your test. This means it can handle typical residential use without frequent intervention or extra equipment.

What you actually get

This system includes a lifetime warranty on the filter’s tank, protecting the pressure vessel for as long as you own your home. It comes with a bypass valve included at no extra cost, so your plumber can isolate the filter and keep water running during service or maintenance. You’ll also receive 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line, making installation straightforward with your local plumber.

Is this the right size for you

This filter suits homes with moderate to heavy iron and sulfur issues typical in well water. If your water test shows very high levels or very low pH, you may need additional treatment steps or a different system. We can help confirm the right size and configuration once you send your water test results and household water use.

Living with it

Maintenance is minimal. The system backwashes automatically on a schedule to clear out trapped particles. Your plumber can service and repair the components easily thanks to the straightforward design and widely available parts. Expect to check the system occasionally and keep the bypass valve accessible, but there’s no need to buy or handle chemicals.

What it won’t do

This system reduces iron and sulfur but does not handle other issues like hardness, sediment larger than the filter media can trap, or bacteria. If you have any of these concerns, you may need separate or additional equipment tailored to those specific problems.
