How to get high amounts of iron out of your well water - will also remove sulfur (rotten egg) smell

- This Patented system is documented removing an unbelievable 200ppm of iron down to 1.5-2ppm with just a 64,000 gain Water Softener with Closed pressure aeration. For those familiar with water treatment systems and private wells, this amount of iron in well water would be thought by most to not be possible to have this much iron in a drinking water well. This was documented by a West Virginia Government lab as containing this huge amount of clear water iron.
Not sure what the purpose of your video is. No explanation of directional flow, alot of talking about non essential stuff.. are you trying to help people or just say look what I did? like others, I need understanding of what equipment I need and what it does. My well water has almost 100 ppm of iron. I have a fully insulated shed next to my well dedicated to as much equipment as needed to fix the issue. I can install a system myself but need to know exactly what I need and where to get it or how to make it. A list of items would be helpful and a directional flow chart... thanks
Why would a plumber set up those 3 filter cans like that? Left zero room to get at & change those filter cartridges. What a mess. Might have been easier to drill the well down another 50' vs all this.
The customer installed those 3 filters before I was contacted. You clearly know nothing about wells and well systems. Drilling a well another 50' would do absolutely nothing for the water quality and is not economically feasible to do.
@@Mr-Water-LLC-of-Maryland I don't claim to be an expert on wells...but if you're telling me a deeper well doesn't have its benefits over a shallow well...then I would question your knowledge as well. well....-_-
I would've just harvested rain water 30,000 gallon concrete tank 10x20x20 with concrete lid buried with a lined rubber membrane.
We don't get enough consistent rainfall for a water harvesting system in the Mid-Atlantic area to supply the usage for the average family. Besides that, runoff from roofs and the like are not suitable for drinking water - bird droppings and the overall nastiness from say an asphalt roof would require some sort of treatment for use in a home. Be careful because untreated drinking water like this can really make you ill.
What about PH in water
The lower the pH (more acidic) the better an air injection system will work. When you get to 7.5 pH and above it becomes much more difficult and specially designed system is required.
What would the lifespan of the system be and could you extend it by doing scheduled cleaning with iron out?
Iron Out is great great stuff!! Mix in a liberal amount to your salt (about a cup) and add about 2-3 gallons of extra water to your brine (salt) tank and put it though a manual regeneration several times and should help allot assuming your softener is functioning but just needs some help. Great in the laundry as well for bright white shirts!
Don't you need to get an accurate hardness test before you can set up the water softener?
Yes normally it would be a good idea but the house has such high iron that the Softener System would be regenerating so often and with such a high salt setting that any hardness would also certainly be removed.
Do you know anyone in Washington that could help me with a system
Like that?
Sorry Imad it's not being offered for sale right now outside of our service area.
We have brown water which is ruining every White appliance, showers, tubs, sinks, refrigerator etc please advise I'm watching your video but I need to find out what I need to buy because it is ruined my softener and water filter system.
You need first to find out how much iron is in your RAW WATER first. If you have really high iron you should get at least a 48,000 grain system.
thank you for Video, did he have Iron Bacteria too?
That is a very good question Charles! Sometimes very high iron readings are indeed to due to iron bacteria compounding the problem - but amazingly enough this was almost entirely 200 ppm of clear water (ferrous iron). We did a major well chlorination first before we installed anything - had the state lab retest and it might have gone down a little but not enough to make much of a difference. This system has been installed for a little over 8 months now - I have not heard from this customer about any issues so apparently he is happy and able to maintain this system so to rent out the place and make it an Airbnb as he had planned.
What does 200ppm of iron look like? Coffee?
Ha! Yes you would think nails would be coming out of the faucets, but actually it was only slightly cloudy and a bit brown and you could however really smell it - rust smell and awful taste. Amazing that amount of iron could be present and still be mostly clear ferrous iron in the water.
6.5 PH and under bad for water heater or renai
Under 6.5 not so good for longevity BUT hard water scaling/clogging causing poor heating performance is a bigger issue.
How long would you expect the greensand filter in the big blue to last with 3ppm of iron?
Depends of course how much water is used the info for the filters said max 15,000 gallons capacity
It would depend on how much water is used. The Big Blue filter does not have the greensand filter it has a 30 micron pleated sediment pre-filter the iSpring 3 post-filter set up has the greensand filter.
Micronizers have been out forever. You make it sound like you invented this treatment process. looks like a 20" 30 mic, time clock softener and a greensand filter to me, nothing very extravagant
"HammerGod" you need to look a bit closer at the system, how it works and HOW MUCH IRON 200 PPM ACTUALLY IS!!!! My Patents are: patents.google.com/patent/US9499417?oq=9%2c499%2c417 and patents.google.com/patent/US9434626B2/en?oq=9%2c434%2c62 - I'm not sure "extravagant" is a good word to describe this system anyway and I'm not quite sure what you meant. There is a greensand filter in the 3rd of the three post filter housings to remove the remaining few ppm's of iron. 197 ppm of iron removal is MASSIVE!! You need to look closely at the patents and associated patent citations: patents.google.com/patent/US9434626B2/en?oq=9%2c434%2c62#patentCitations and patents.google.com/patent/US9434626B2/en?oq=9%2c434%2c62#patentCitations - one of the citations goes back to the very first industrial type water filter patented in 1894. You judge a patent's value by the technologies it cites (leapfrogs) and how far back in time the citation go.
@@Mr-Water-LLC-of-Maryland I'm in Illinois, do you have a price list online for the DIY'er to purchase for well water?
@@Mr-Water-LLC-of-Maryland i have done mining water in Pa for 28 yrs i have never heard of 200ppm of iron what about compensated hardness and Ph factor in to and iron removal this may be 20 you said tds 1500 so what is taking it down ?what i see and im confident this system will not remove 50 ppm let alone 200 not possible with this tell me what is precipitating iron out and what is turning it to a ferric state to be filtered out is the green sand back washed with potassium premaganate? please enlighten me thanks
and also those patents are definatly not yours because your system you present on video is nothing like any of those patents i remove alot of iron systems i design alot and what you have there im sorry to say just wont do what you say without a doubt in my mind
@@waterproproblemwatertreatm940 I sent you copies of my patents and everything I have said is fact. I was profiled in Water Conditioning & Purification Magazine back in November 2021 about this particular situation in West Virginia - they of course verified everything before publishing, here is the article: wcponline.com/2021/11/15/mr-water-llc-fixing-the-unfixable/
