1,500+ Reviews 1,500+ Reviews Until recently, the most common solution for problem iron and sulfur water involved harsh chemicals and complicated equipment — requiring regular care and service by the homeowner or water treatment professional. The Iron Odor Eater offers the natural solution: it uses nature's own oxidation process to eliminate iron and sulfur, giving you fresh, clean, odor-free water throughout your home.
No chlorine, no potassium permanganate, no hydrogen peroxide. No cartridge filters to replace. Nature's oxidation does the work — no chemicals to buy or store.
No air compressors, no aerators, no external venturis. The stored air bubble is compressed by your own well pressure — one less thing to maintain or replace.
Single-system household flow rate up to 21 GPM — handling both high iron and high sulfur content without splitting into multiple units.
The Iron Odor Eater stores a compressed "bubble" of air inside the media tank — compressed naturally by your well pressure. As water passes through this air pocket, oxygen converts dissolved iron and sulfur into solid particles that the catalytic filter media traps.
Your well pressure compresses a bubble of air inside the media tank. As water passes through, dissolved iron and sulfur are converted into solid, filterable particles.
The catalytic filter media captures the now-solid iron and sulfur particles — while the air bubble is gradually consumed by the passing water.
For regeneration, the unit automatically backwashes itself — removing all the trapped iron and sulfur particles out to drain. No chemicals involved.
The system draws in fresh atmosphere, transferring oxygen into the media bed. Then it returns to "service" — ready to filter your water again.
Many iron systems require regular chemical injection (chlorine, potassium permanganate). The Iron Odor Eater uses only air — nothing to buy, nothing to handle, nothing to spill.
Iron fouls water softeners and shortens appliance life. The Iron Odor Eater protects your softener, water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine — adding years of service life.
Iron buildup clogs pipes (see the Virginia City pipe — 4 years of iron damage). Early treatment prevents thousands of dollars in re-piping expenses.
One system, two solutions — handles both high iron and high sulfur/hydrogen sulfide (rotten-egg) odor in a single tank.
We identify your specific iron type and concentration before recommending this system — dissolved, particulate, or iron bacteria each need different approaches.
Since 1993, Pure Water Systems has treated thousands of iron-troubled wells across Reno, Dayton, Fernley, Virginia City, and Carson City.
