Why Indianapolis Homes Need Iron Water Filters
Iron in water is a common issue for many homes in Indianapolis, especially those with well water. Even small amounts of iron over time can damage your home and appliances, making a professional iron filtration system a smart investment.
Rust-Colored Water
Brown or reddish water can stain sinks, tubs, toilets, and laundry, leaving unsightly marks.
Metallic Taste
Drinking water may taste metallic or "off," affecting cooking and beverages throughout your home.
Clogged Plumbing & Appliances
Iron can accumulate in pipes, water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, reducing efficiency.
Skin & Hair Issues
Iron-rich water can irritate skin, dry hair, and make soap less effective for your family.
Odors
Sulfur or "rotten egg" smells often accompany iron problems, creating an unpleasant environment.
