Iron

Iron contamination in water supplies can lead to various issues, including unpleasant taste, staining of fixtures and laundry, and potential health concerns. At H2O Warehouse, we offer effective iron removal solutions to ensure your water is clean, safe, and iron-free.

Understanding Iron in Water

Iron is commonly present in groundwater sources, often manifesting in two forms:

  • Ferrous Iron (Fe²⁺): Also known as "clear-water iron," this dissolved form is invisible in water but oxidises upon exposure to air, turning into ferric iron.

  • Ferric Iron (Fe³⁺): Also referred to as "red-water iron," this oxidised form is visible and causes reddish-brown discoloration.

Problems Associated with Iron-Contaminated Water

  • Staining: Iron deposits can stain sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and laundry, leading to costly cleaning and replacements.

  • Taste and Odour: Elevated iron levels impart a metallic taste and may cause unpleasant odours in drinking water.

  • Plumbing Issues: Iron buildup can clog pipes and reduce the efficiency of water heaters and appliances.
