Iron Filter System

Iron Filter Installation & Well Water Iron Removal in Dane County, WI

If you rely on well water, iron and sulfur are common problems throughout Southern Wisconsin. Orange stains, metallic taste, and rotten egg odors are clear signs your home may need an iron filtration system.

At Kegonsa Plumbing, we install and service high-performance iron filters designed specifically for Wisconsin well water conditions. Our systems effectively remove iron, manganese, and sulfur to deliver cleaner, clearer, better-smelling water throughout your home.

Signs You Need an Iron Filter

Iron in well water can cause noticeable issues, including:

• Orange or brown staining on sinks, tubs, and toilets
• Rust-colored laundry stains
• Metallic taste in drinking water
• Rotten egg odor (often caused by sulfur)
• Clogged plumbing fixtures
• Reduced appliance lifespan

If you’re experiencing any of these problems, a professionally installed iron filtration system can restore your water quality.

What Is an Iron Filter?

An iron filter (also called an iron filtration system, iron removal system, and even an iron curtain) is designed to remove:

• Ferrous (dissolved) iron
• Ferric (oxidized) iron
• Manganese
• Hydrogen sulfide (sulfur odor)

Unlike basic sediment filters, iron filters use advanced oxidation and filtration media to eliminate contaminants before water enters your home’s plumbing system.

Benefits of Installing an Iron Filtration System

1. Eliminates Rust Stains: Stop scrubbing orange stains from tubs, toilets, and sinks.
2. Improves Water Taste & Smell: Removes metallic flavors and sulfur odors for cleaner, fresher water.
3. Protects Plumbing & Appliances: Iron buildup can clog pipes and damage water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. Filtration reduces long-term wear and costly repairs.
4. Cleaner Laundry & Fixtures: Whites stay white. Fixtures stay cleaner longer.
5. Whole-Home Water Treatment: Iron filters treat water at the point of entry, meaning every faucet and appliance benefits.

Professional Iron Filter Installation

At Kegonsa Plumbing, we begin with a water quality evaluation to determine:

• Iron concentration levels
• Presence of manganese or sulfur
• Water usage demands
• Existing plumbing configuration

We then recommend the right iron removal system for your home and handle complete installation, system setup, and performance testing. Our installations are code-compliant and built for long-term reliability.

Iron Filter Maintenance & Service

Like any water treatment system, iron filters require periodic maintenance to perform properly.

We provide:

• Media replacement
• System inspections
• Backwash adjustments
• Troubleshooting & repairs
• Replacement of outdated systems

Routine service ensures your well water stays clean and clear year-round.

Iron Filter vs. Water Softener – What’s the Difference?

While water softeners remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium, they are not designed to handle high iron levels.

In many Wisconsin homes, the most effective solution is pairing:

• An iron filter for iron & sulfur removal
• A water softener for hardness treatment

We can design a complete water treatment system tailored to your well water conditions.
