How The Iron Eater Well Water Softeners Effectively Remove Iron

7/2/2016

 
Picture
If you're a well water user, you might have faced the frustrating issue of occasional spikes in iron or manganese in your water. These minerals can clog standard water softeners, impacting performance and leading to costly maintenance. RainDance Water Systems developed the Iron Eater as a robust, long-lasting solution for both homeowners and businesses dealing with hard water. This multipurpose well water softener is designed not only to tackle hardness but also to remove iron and manganese, offering built-in protection to simplify water treatment.​
What Makes the Iron Eater Unique?​
The Iron Eater’s effectiveness lies in its specially engineered filtration media, created to trap hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium as well as iron and manganese. While typical water softeners use standard resin effective for basic hardness removal, the Iron Eater uses a finer, high-surface-area resin, which enhances its contaminant removal abilities. As water flows over this resin, the increased surface contact allows for superior iron, manganese, and hardness removal. This advanced media also makes regeneration—the process of cleaning the resin using a salt solution—more efficient, reducing salt consumption and improving performance.​
How It Works
​The Iron Eater is designed to remove hard water up to 110 grains per gallon (gpg), iron up to 25 mg/L, & manganese up to 2 mg/L. When untreated water enters the Iron Eater’s tank, the filtration media traps minerals, iron, and manganese, preventing them from entering your water supply. During regeneration, these contaminants are flushed out, leaving the media refreshed and ready for continued filtration.

For the high-capacity Twin Tank Iron Eater, two tanks alternate in operation, ensuring an uninterrupted water supply even during regeneration. This system can be scheduled to regenerate at night, typically around 2 a.m., but can be adjusted to fit your lifestyle. 
Frequently Asked Questions
​Q: What does installation involve?
A: Installation is easy with our pre-loaded Iron Eater tanks. Select models arrive pre-assembled, meaning you just screw on the control valve and connect it to your plumbing. For larger commercial systems that cannot be shipped fully assembled, we include detailed instructions and offer step-by-step support to ensure a smooth setup.

Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Simply add water softening salt pellets to the brine tank periodically. The Iron Eater media typically lasts 8-10 years, depending on water quality and usage, and can be replaced as needed. Note that the Iron Eater is not intended to treat tannins, iron bacteria, sulfur-reducing bacteria, colloidal iron, or organic iron.

Q: Can I use the Iron Eater if I don’t have iron?
A: Absolutely. Despite its name, the Iron Eater is also a high-performance softening system for both well and city water. It treats hard water, iron, manganese, rust, and suspended solids, protecting your plumbing and appliances from contaminants that may appear in your water.

Q: If I already have a water softener, do I still need the Iron Eater?
A: If you want additional iron removal, consider the Iron Max system to work in tandem with your current softener. Alternatively, the Iron Eater can replace standard softeners that aren’t designed for well water fluctuations.

Whether you’re tackling iron, manganese, or hard water, the Iron Eater provides reliable, high-capacity treatment for clean, soft water tailored to the demands of well water. Enjoy peace of mind with an all-in-one solution designed for efficiency and convenience.
