How to Prevent Iron Water in the Winter

Author: JeorgeBen | Posted: 27.12.2011

Particularly in rural Ontario where residents may use wells as a source of their household water, iron water can become an issue during the winter months. When your water system is compromised by an abundance of iron, it’s possible for rust to develop and wreak havoc on your appliances as well as your drinking water. To prevent rust from appearing in your water supply, Water Depot offers iron water filtration systems to stop the problem at its point of origin.

Water is a natural solvent, and it collects minerals and other contaminants as it washes over the Earth’s surface. With up to 5% of the planet’s crust comprised of iron, rain water, snow and thawing ice can become contaminated as they soak through the ground. Unfortunately for well systems that draw from a groundwater source, this means the winter and approaching thaw can mark an increase of iron in the water supply.

It takes a very small amount of iron to alter the water’s state. To keep yours fresh and clean, consider Water Depot’s line of iron water filtration systems:

Air Birm Filtration

Water Depot carries two models of Air Birm filters: Econo and Platinum. Both are available in either 1 or 2 cubic foot sizes, with the Econo featuring a simple, reliable design with solid state cycles and a 5 year warranty. The Platinum model comes with an extended 15 year warranty, self-diagnostic capability, no chemicals or filters to change and a 20% larger off-air tank than the Econo. You can visit one of Water Depot’s many franchises in Ontario to learn more about Air Birm water purification systems.

Iron Blaster

Exclusive to Water Depot, the Iron Blaster is the most effective system available for the removal of iron and sulphur from your water supply. Its advanced engineering includes a powerful Ozone Generator and specialized filter that together are 6 times more efficient than traditional chlorine water treatment systems and 3,000 times faster than chlorine alone. With a chemical-free filtration process, the Iron Blaster removes sulphur odour and iron from water while reducing the chances of bacterial growth. Our most advanced water purification system is low maintenance and septic system safe, making it ideal for residents in rural areas.

Iron is an essential mineral that we need to consume on a daily basis, but should not be overly abundant in your home’s drinking water. These are some of the most efficient systems on the market and our staff will be happy to educate you further about any model.
