Iron & Manganese Removal
Water filtration systems designed to remove iron and manganese are essential for improving water quality and protecting both human health and our homes. These naturally occurring metallic elements are common groundwater contaminants and in very high levels, they cause significant problems if left untreated. Iron in water is generally visible in the form of brown rusty staining on your bathroom ware and staining on laundry. It can create many problems for plumbing and appliances and becomes very costly as well as inconvenient. Manganese can be seen as little black tea leaf like particles. Iron & Manganese in water are easily treated with our Multi Media System which guarantees to reduce Iron &Manganese from your water.
How to remove Remove Iron & Manganese from your well water supply
Iron and manganese are found in high levels in many well water supplies across Ireland. If you are experiencing a build up of rusty coloured, orange discoloration on sinks, toilets, bathroom tiles, plumbing or washing machines, there is a high chance you have a problem with iron in your water supply. You may also find the water has a metallic taste or odour. Many homeowners notice laundry, particularly whites, can be very discoloured. Manganese can also cause metallic taste and odour and can also leave black residue or build up around the house. Left untreated, water with high iron or manganese can be a real nuisance in a home as well as a huge cost.
Our Water Filtration Systems to remove iron and manganese are both simple and effective. We have an extensive range of water treatment systems to solve complex water problems. We recommend having a full chemical and bacteria analysis completed in an independent laboratory in order to determine your water quality. We are happy to recommend some accredited laboratories we have used for many years for water testing. When we receive a copy of your report, one of our water treatment consultants will analyse your report to determine your specific problems. We will then prepare a tailored solution and quotation based on that report and contact you to discuss your water report and the systems we recommend to treat your water.
Grants may be available from your local county council to help with the cost of installing a water system to remove iron and manganese. Our team of experts will be happy to explain the process to you. You can also wee our Well Water Grants page for more details.
Iron and Manganese in Irish Water Systems: A Comprehensive Analysis
In Ireland, rural water systems demonstrate a significant challenge with iron contamination. Studies from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have revealed that approximately 30% of private wells in rural areas exceed recommended iron concentration levels. This widespread issue stems from the geological composition of Irish groundwater, where iron-rich bedrock contributes to elevated metal concentrations. Rural communities are particularly vulnerable, with some regions experiencing iron levels up to four times the recommended drinking water standards.
- 20%of public water supply systems across Ireland show manganese concentrations above recommended health guidelines.
- 12.6% of Irish water supplies demonstrate manganese levels higher than the World Health Organization's recommended thresholds
- 5.3% of Irish water systems show simultaneous high levels of both iron and manganese
Multi Media System
This Multi Media system has been designed and engineered to reduce high levels of Iron & Manganese. This system will also remove limescale by softening the hard water and can also balance the PH of your water. This Multi Media system has proven to be extremely effective in homes with complex water. High Grade Quality Media ensures long lasting effective treatment of iron and manganese. High Performance Clack Valve Technology ensures optimum and reliable performance.
Multi Media & Automatic Sediment Filter
The combination of a Multi Media system and an Automatic Sediment Filter is often required where well water contains extremely high levels of iron, manganese and turbidity, general dirt and silt. This combination of systems provides the optimal result for both the quality of water in your home and ensures you protect your investment in your water filter systems.
