Particularly in rural Ontario where residents may use wells as a source of their household water, iron water can become an issue during the winter months. When your water system is compromised by an abundance of iron, it’s possible for rust to develop and wreak havoc on your appliances as well as your drinking water. To prevent rust from appearing in your water supply, Water Depot offers iron water filtration systems to stop the problem at its point of origin.
Water is a natural solvent, and it collects minerals and other contaminants as it washes over the Earth’s surface. With up to 5% of the planet’s crust comprised of iron, rain water, snow and thawing ice can become contaminated as they soak through the ground. Unfortunately for well systems that draw from a groundwater source, this means the winter and approaching thaw can mark an increase of iron in the water supply.
It takes a very small amount of iron to alter the water’s state. To keep yours fresh and clean, consider Water Depot’s line of iron water filtration systems:
Air Birm Filtration
Water Depot carries two models of Air Birm ...
... filters: Econo and Platinum. Both are available in either 1 or 2 cubic foot sizes, with the Econo featuring a simple, reliable design with solid state cycles and a 5 year warranty. The Platinum model comes with an extended 15 year warranty, self-diagnostic capability, no chemicals or filters to change and a 20% larger off-air tank than the Econo.
