The best treatment for iron bacteria removal in private well water is normally the combination of a chemical feeder system and a terminox ism backwashing sulfur and iron filter. Our iron bacteria treatment systems can be designed using any of our iron filter systems. Since iron bacteria tend to build up again a few months after treatment well owners should strive to control rather than completely cure the problem.

The iron bacteria treatment system adds the following. Hydrogen peroxide option available. It usually only creates a rotten egg odor when it gets into a water softener that is full of trapped rust. Chlorine injection add on system.

High efficiency iron max fx filtration system removes oxidized iron bacteria iron sulfur manganese sediment and reduces the effects of hard water. The iron max plus series.
