How do I know if my well water needs an iron filter?

Do you notice rust or iron stains in your toilets or baths? Are your clothes not as white as they should be? Is high iron ruining your irrigation and sprinkler systems? The Iron Max removes both high iron and manganese at every tap, so they may be suitable for any water well application that needs high quality water for any reason.
There are many reasons why some homeowners and businesses choose an Iron Max over other technologies. For example, most iron filters require you to add harsh chemicals the Iron Max is chemical free. A separate sediment filter may also be required with most iron filters - The Iron Max also removes sediment without requiring additional equipment.

Basically, if you need water to be of a higher quality than your private well water supply, then a iron filter might work for you. As there are many different well water filters to choose from, it is worth having your water analyzed. Before you purchase any iron filter for your well we recommend that you obtain a water quality test report for your well water supply, which will help identify any issues that are essential to deal with and those you may wish to improve.

What size iron filter do I need?

It’s really important to take the size of your household into account when choosing a whole house iron filter system. The higher the number of occupants, the more water will be used.

Each Iron Max listed below has a maximum flow rate for optimum iron removal and filtration. The flow rate is measured in gallons/minute. The flow rate is the measure of the amount of water that can run through your house faucets—dishwashers, washing machine, showers, hot water heaters, and toilet. When planning to buy your well water iron filter, make sure to know the demand of your appliances and water dispensers in your home. For example, a typical showerhead has a flow rate of 2.5-5 gallons per minute while dishwashers and toilets have flow rates of 5 gpm and 3 gpm respectively. Depending on the size of your family, the number of water dispensers, and the flow rate of each dispenser, a RainDance professional can help you calculate the right flow rate that your filter should have. If you are using an iron filter for irrigation water or commercial business we will need to know your estimated flow rate, plumbing size and how many gallons of water you plan to use per day. We offer high flow iron filters from 8gpm up to 100gpm+ and can accommodate plumbing sizes from 3/4" to 3"
