Including filter system and high-performance Iron Bacteria filter.
Iron bacteria are tiny organisms that feed on iron and can leave slimy deposits inside pipes and on fixtures. In Franjo households you might first spot rusty stains in sinks, tubs or toilets, an oily sheen on standing water, or bits floating in your glass. A musty or swampy smell when water has sat in the plumbing is another common sign. Although different from dissolved iron, iron bacteria often occur alongside it and tend to make iron problems harder to manage.
These microbes thrive in well systems and can be introduced during maintenance or shifts in water flow, then cling to pipe walls, clog aerators and screens, and foul treatment equipment. Because their effects can look like sediment or manganese staining, it’s wise for Franjo homeowners to test their water so you know what you’re dealing with before picking a solution. Tackling iron bacteria early helps prevent repeat staining and protects your home’s plumbing from ongoing buildup.
For iron bacteria, the preferred single filter-style option is an oxidizing backwashing filter designed to remove iron and biological iron slime. Installed at the point of entry for Franjo homes, these whole-house systems oxidize the troublesome material into particles that the media traps and then flushes away during a self-cleaning backwash. Because iron bacteria create sticky masses, that automatic backwash is essential to keep the media from fouling and to provide more reliable, long-term control than a simple cartridge filter.
At Mr. Pure Water we size oxidizing backwash filters to the flow and demand of your Franjo home so contact time and backwash cycles are effective. Heavy infestations sometimes need pre-treatment or periodic sanitation in addition to the backwash unit, but the oxidizing filter remains the primary day-to-day tool for reducing iron bacteria. Treating water at the point of entry limits staining, odors and slime from reaching faucets, showers and appliances, and we select systems based on your water chemistry so the solution addresses root causes rather than just masking symptoms.
