Where does iron come from?
Iron is a naturally occurring element in the Earth’s crust, which we obtain from rocks and minerals that we mine for our daily needs such as building materials, building materials, etc. Iron also comes from our food supply – mainly grains and other plant-based foods.
However, excessive consumption of animal-based foods like red meat and poultry can increase your risk of getting an iron deficiency anemia (reduced blood supply to the bone marrow) and lead to bone disorders and bone disease such as osteoporosis (thinning of bones).
How to identify the well water contaminated with irons?
One of the main indicators that your well water is contaminated with iron is when your well water turns dark yellow or orange. You may also see streaks or bubbles in the well water that are tinged with an orange-brown color.
This may also occur if your well water has a sediment buildup in it. You should contact a well water expert immediately to help you determine if you have iron contamination in your well water.
In most cases, it will be necessary to have the iron removed from your well before you can safely use it for drinking or other purposes.
How to remove irons from well water naturally?
There are many ways to remove Iron from Well Water naturally. The most effective and reliable way to remove iron from well water is through the use of Reverse Osmosis Systems. ROD systems can remove 99% of all types of impurities, including iron, lead, mercury and other heavy metals.
Do you know that a small household ROD system can remove the most common sources of lead from your drinking water? That’s right – a typical ROD system can remove 99% of all types of impurities from your drinking water, including lead.
The problem is that many people are unaware that their well water could have a significant amount of lead in it because the level detected by testing equipment such as lead test strips does not reveal the true level of contaminants in the well water.
Lead test strips may only reveal about 0.01% or less (parts per million) but in actuality your well water may have hundreds or thousands of parts per million (ppm) or even more lead in it.
What are the other tools to remove irons from well water?
There are several different tools to remove Iron from Well Water naturally, including: Well water filters. If you want to remove iron from well water naturally and inexpensively, then a well water filter may be the best choice for you.
The most common type of well water filter is the standard under-sink under-counter model. These models are usually available in 1 or 2 gallon capacities. They require a large amount of storage space, which can make them less than ideal if you have limited storage space in your home.
There are many types of filters available that claim to remove more than 99% of all types of contaminants from your well water. However, most filters will not be effective at removing all types of contaminants (such as lead and arsenic) due to their porous nature.
What to do to prevent the well waters from being contaminated again?
There are several steps you can take to prevent the Well Water from being contaminated with Iron again: Make sure your well water filter is properly installed and operating. Make sure that your well water filter is installed in an area of your home where it will not be damaged by heat or moisture, which could cause it to fail prematurely.
If you have a high volume of water flow through your well, you may need to install an additional well water filter to prevent the well water from being contaminated with Iron again. If your home has a septic tank, you should use a system that uses a phosphate-free product for preventing the buildup of Iron in the septic tank. You can also use a phosphate-free de-chlorinating additive in your septic tank or sewer line when it is pumped out of the house on a regular basis.
What are the common types of iron in well water?
Well Water is a common source of contamination in our drinking water. In the US alone, over 6 million people are estimated to suffer from Iron poisoning annually, and it has been estimated that 1 in 10 children are suffering from Iron deficiency (only 50% of which are being diagnosed) . So what is this Iron that is being found in our drinking water? Well Water commonly contains Iron compounds such as: Ferrous (Fe+2) Magnesium (Mg+2) Phosphorus (P+3) Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) Arsenic (As+3) Arsenic forms when the naturally occurring element, arsenic, combines with sulfur or phosphorus in well water. Other possible contaminants include lead, boron and fluoride.
