Description
After completing a comprehensive water test, the results may identify that the Iron Breaker System needs to be serviced. Several components of the Iron Breaker System will be inspected, and, if necessary, replaced:
- Injector and screen will be adjusted or replaced
- Check and clean drain lines
- Resin bed may need replacement
- Control valve many need to be cleaned or replaced
How Important is the Service
The thing that you’ll notice the most from water that is high in iron is that the water may taste metallic. The water may be discolored and appear brownish, and it may even contain sediment. Iron will leave red or orange rust stains in the sink, toilet and bathtub or shower. The EPA cautions that although iron in drinking water is safe to ingest, the iron sediments may contain trace impurities or harbor bacteria that can be harmful. Iron bacteria are naturally occurring organisms that can dissolve iron and some other minerals. These bacteria also form a brown slime that can build up in water pipes. Iron bacteria are most commonly problematic in wells, where water has not been chlorinated.
