Including filter system and high-performance Iron Bacteria filter.
Iron bacteria are microorganisms that feed on iron and can form slimy deposits inside plumbing and fixtures. In Lamont homes you may first spot rusty stains in sinks, tubs, or toilets, or notice an oily sheen and floating particles in standing water. A musty, swampy smell when water sits in the pipes is another common sign. Though different from dissolved iron, iron bacteria often occur alongside it and tend to make iron-related staining and odors harder to manage.
These organisms can colonize well systems and may be introduced during service work or shifts in water flow; once present they cling to pipe walls, clog faucet aerators and screens, and can foul treatment equipment. Because their symptoms can look like sediment, manganese staining, or routine mineral buildup, having your Lamont water tested helps identify the real cause before selecting a remedy. Treating iron bacteria early reduces recurring mess, preserves appliances, and keeps your home’s plumbing running more smoothly.
For iron bacteria, the most effective single filter-style option is an oxidizing backwashing filter designed to tackle iron and biological iron slime. Installed at the point of entry for the whole house, these systems oxidize troublesome material so it forms particles the media can trap and the backwash cycle can flush away. Because iron bacteria can form sticky masses, a self-cleaning backwash is important to prevent media fouling and maintain performance—making this approach more reliable over time than a standard cartridge filter.
At Mr. Pure Water we typically pair an oxidizing backwash filter with proper sizing and flow rates to meet Lamont household demands, since contact time and backwash strength affect results. In heavier infestations, pre-treatment or periodic sanitation may still be advised, but the oxidizing backwash unit remains the day-to-day workhorse. Treating water at the entry point helps limit staining, odors, and buildup before water reaches faucets, showers, and appliances, and we size systems to your water chemistry so the solution addresses root causes rather than just the symptoms.
