IRON/MANGANESE/SULFUR ODOR

Newest technology available for iron, sediment and odor removal/reduction.  This patented system is chemical free, using oxygen as a catalyst to oxidize unwanted iron and odors in your water. We’ve installed hundreds of these units in Washoe Valley, Fallon, Truckee, Palomino Valley and throughout Northern California & Nevada.

Water Softeners eliminate the effects of hard water; IronBreaker III eliminates iron and removes the objectionable effects of hydrogen sulfide or H₂S.
Whether it’s rust stains in your sinks and laundry, or the “rotten egg” smell of H₂S when you turn on a tap, your water problems can cause you and your family more than embarrassment and frustration. Iron and H₂S can damage your fixtures and plumbing, discolor your laundry or create unpleasant odors in drinking water and showers.

In its pristine state, water is colorless, tasteless and odorless.
 In fact, water that smells or tastes funny is the primary reason people turn to bottled water, which is expensive for you and harmful for the environment—millions of barrels of oil are used each year to produce and transport it and billions of plastic bottles are added to our landfills. So, if your water tastes or smells strange in Northern Nevada, you owe it to yourself to find out why.

• Earthy or musty taste and odor: These types of complaints are generally the result of compounds released due to decayed vegetation and are typically associated with different forms of algae. They are most prevalent in supplies that use surface water as their supply. While not toxic, they are nonetheless unpleasant and can be offensive even at very low concentrations.
• “Rotten egg” smell: Another common source of smelly water is hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless corrosive gas that has the characteristic odor of rotten eggs. It is most commonly found in groundwater supplies and often is noticed coming from hot water tanks. It can occur naturally from deep in the ground or can be produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria. It can affect the taste of food and beverages, making them unpalatable. If present in high enough concentrations, it can leave an unpleasant odor on hair and clothing. It can also accelerate corrosion of metal parts in appliances. Because it is a gas, testing for it usually has to be performed onsite.
• Metallic taste: As the name implies, a metallic taste to your water indicates the presence of metals such as iron, copper, manganese or zinc. Iron and manganese are often naturally occurring and are predominantly found in groundwater. Copper and zinc can come from an aging water distribution system or the corrosion of copper plumbing and brass fittings due to low pH.

• Iron buildup (inside the pipes ) The picture to the right was from a 7 year old home with well water containing 4 parts per million Iron in Virginia City Highlands, NV.  This is typical of the region.  We’ve also seen more extreme cases where water simply stops flowing because of iron buildup.  This usually means replumbing large sections of piping at considerable cost to the homeowner.  Don’t wait until it gets to that point!
