Iron is one of the most common well water problems across Marion, Kila, Hungry Horse, Coram, and the rural Flathead. It stains sinks, toilets, and laundry orange, leaves a metallic taste in drinking water, fouls water heaters, and clogs plumbing fixtures. Standard water softeners are not built to handle high iron loads. A dedicated Glacier Peak Series iron filter is engineered specifically to oxidize and remove iron — and the right system depends on which type of iron is in your water.
Benefits
No more rust rings in toilets, orange streaks in sinks, or stained laundry.
Drinking water actually tastes like water again.
Iron buildup clogs valves, ruins water heaters, and shortens the life of every appliance it touches.
Many Flathead-area wells carry both iron and manganese — our systems remove both, eliminating black staining as well.
How It Works
- 1Water analysisWe identify iron type (ferrous vs ferric), concentration, manganese levels, and pH — all critical for correct system selection.
- 2Oxidation stageAir injection or chemical oxidation converts dissolved iron into a filterable form.
- 3Filtration mediaSpecialty media (Birm, Greensand Plus, catalytic carbon) traps oxidized iron.
- 4Automatic backwashSystem self-cleans on a programmed schedule — no cartridges to change.
