How to remove iron in water from a well
The most common impurity in water coming from wells of any depth is iron. Despite the fact that iron is useful for the human body, its content in drinking water is strictly regulated and, according to current standards, should not exceed. Water that contains too much of this metal not only smells of iron and can be colored yellow, but can also be harmful to health.
Signs of ferruginous water
Water purification from iron
At home, it is better to resort to water treatment methods that do not use chemicals - for obvious reasons: to eliminate iron, not to “populate” it with toxic, unhealthy contaminants.
Reverse osmosis filtration
This is the most progressive and safe way to remove not only iron, but also other harmful impurities from well water. The reverse osmosis membrane retains any mineral salts (which include iron salts), passing only water molecules, and the mineralizer, which is in any modern
reverse osmosis filter, at the outlet it enriches the water only with useful minerals - calcium and magnesium.
Ion exchange
Ion exchange resins are most commonly used to soften water. On the surface of the polymers, there is an "exchange" of ions of calcium, magnesium and iron salts (related to hardness salts) for sodium ions. The resulting water, respectively, becomes soft, it reduces the amount of iron.
AQUAPHOR 550, 800 and 1000 complex water filtration systems are designed for water purification throughout the house. With their small dimensions, they are very productive and cope with large volumes of water. They eliminate not only stiffness and iron, but also manganese and other contaminants.
Aeration
It is carried out with the help of special devices - aerators. Water is “treated” with air, due to which it is enriched with oxygen. In this case, iron salts are oxidized and precipitate, which is then retained by a mechanical filter. This is an environmentally friendly, but not efficient enough method. It should be considered not as a self-sufficient method of water purification, but as a link in the chain of integrated water treatment.
Choose effective ways to deal with excess iron. After all, clear water is the purest comfort: filtration not only greatly simplifies life with its household chores, but also helps save money by protecting bathroom surfaces, clothes and appliances from the appearance of rusty stains.
Signs of ferruginous water
- in the open air, the water acquires a brown tint;
- when it is settled, a precipitate forms at the bottom of the container;
- water or dishes cooked on it have a metallic taste;
- stains remain on light-colored clothes after washing;
- scale flakes are not white, but red.
