Iron in Your Water Is More Than an Eyesore

Iron in Northern Nevada well water causes red and orange staining on toilets, tubs, sinks, and laundry. It clogs pipes, stains fixtures permanently, and at high concentrations creates that unmistakable metallic taste and rotten egg odor.

Different types of iron require different solutions — and we have the most comprehensive iron treatment lineup in Nevada.

Dissolved (ferrous) iron — red/orange water
Particulate (ferric) iron — rust flakes
Iron bacteria — orange slime, rotten smell
Colloidal iron — cloudiness, hard to remove
Combined iron/manganese — black staining
