Iron Bacteria can easily enter your well during routine maintenance, especially after well drilling or pump service. These small organisms thrive in water with high iron content and can quickly multiply, creating issues in both residential and commercial water systems. They interact with iron and oxygen to form rust-like deposits that reduce water quality, clog … Continue reading No Room for a Chlorinator? Use This Alternative Method to Eliminate Iron Bacteria
While relying on a private well can offer some great advantages – namely, the ability to completely control the quality and composition of your water – most well water users can attest that it comes with its own share of disadvantages as well. Perhaps the biggest trouble with well water stems from the variety of … Continue reading Water Tests
Odors in well water, which can affect drinking water quality, are commonly caused by iron and/or sulfur bacteria or compounds of iron, manganese, and sulfates. Hydrogen sulfide gas (“rotten egg odor”) frequently occurs in well water due to decaying organic matter, sulfate activity, and various species of sulfur or iron bacteria. For the full breakdown … Continue reading Well Water Smells? Here’s the 6-Step Fix
Odors in well water are commonly caused by iron and sulfur bacteria. These bacteria thrive on iron and sulfur and create sludgy, foul-smelling waste byproducts like methane and hydrogen sulfide gas. Iron bacteria are another common cause of odors and slime in well water. Hydrogen sulfide can cause black stains on silverware and plumbing fixtures … Continue reading How to Eliminate Rotten Egg Smell Without Chlorine
