I have well point that uses strictly for irrigation system. I have problems with staining (Fe) my house, sidewalk and the driveway. I do not know how much ppm fe in the well water. I am a chemist myself, and I used test metals in the water for the Districtof Fl. I am no longer works there either. I read many articles in several website. I kind of like your thought using the hydrogen peroxide. Could you please give me a details about how the system could install.
Thank you,

Craig,

I always recommend an “oxidation” filter ahead of a water softener, when you have that much iron. It costs more, but it will work better. Here’s what I recommend:

You need a water test. Try this:

Hi Mark,
I am trying to find out where you purchase a hydrogen peroxide system for a well and how much does it cost. We built a new house with a well and have a lot of iron in the water. We thought about getting a softener but our water is not hard, they tested it and it was about the same as the city water except that it has a lot of iron in it and thus causes a lot of staining. From what I’m reading a regular softener will do nothing for that, but would you still recommend buying one plus using the “rust-out” with it? Thank you for the advice.

To remove the iron, you may need to use a product like RUST -OUT or if that doesn’t work you could try 17% hydrogen peroxide or muratic acid.

Try this:

The best thing to do is to remove the iron BEFORE it gets to your shower. Tell me more about your water…
