Iron Bacteria & Filters

If water passes through ground containing iron-bearing rock, it will collect iron and cause rust stains as well as other iron-related problems in the home. Iron will discolour your laundry, leave hard to clean stains and jeopardize the quality of the water you drink. Expensive replacement and service repair of water-using appliances and fixtures are often incurred when iron is present.

A chemical-free ETF 2100 filtration system by EcoWater is a proven, low-cost solution to iron problem, protecting your household from the invasive effects of not only ferrous (clear water) iron, but also ferric (precipitated) iron. Unlike conventional methods of iron removal, the EcoWater filtration system requires no costly, messy chemicals, salt or expensive replacement cartridges. This chemical-free iron removal system requires approximately 10% of the water a conventional filter uses to regenerate and requires no maintenance. Eliminate iron from your water. Consult McLeod's EcoWater. Our specialist will recommend the appropriate model and size for your household or commercial application.

Chlorination Systems

A chlorination system can consist of the following:

  • Chlorinator: A chemical feed pump designed to inject a predetermined level of chlorine into the water. Chlorine will kill bacteria and oxidize high levels of iron, manganese, and sulfur.
  • Retention Tank: This tank is used to insure contact time for a proper bacteria kill, and/or time to completely oxidize iron and sulfur.
  • Multimedia Filters: Used for removal of oxidized iron, and sulfur.
  • Carbon Filter: Removes chlorine and/or organics which may be present in water.
