Including filter system and high-performance Iron Bacteria filter.
Iron bacteria are microorganisms that feed on iron and can form slimy buildups inside plumbing and fixtures. In Lois homes they often show themselves as rusty stains in sinks, tubs or toilets, an oily sheen or small particles floating in water, and sometimes a musty or swampy smell when water sits in pipes. These bacteria aren’t the same as dissolved iron, but they frequently occur alongside it and make iron problems — staining, odors and clogged screens — harder to manage.
Iron bacteria commonly colonize well systems and can be introduced during maintenance or shifts in flow; once established they cling to pipe walls, foul aerators and screens, and can hamper treatment equipment. Because the signs often mimic sediment or manganese staining, it’s helpful for Lois homeowners to test their water so the right solution is selected. Tackling iron bacteria early can reduce repeat staining, odors and the need for repeated cleanings.
For iron bacteria, the most effective single filter-style choice is an oxidizing backwashing filter engineered to handle iron and biological iron slime. Installed at the point of entry for Lois homes, these whole-house units oxidize troublesome material into particles the media captures and then flushes away during a self-cleaning backwash cycle. Because iron bacteria can form sticky masses that foul filter media, the automated backwash is essential — it keeps the system functioning reliably in day-to-day use unlike a simple cartridge filter.
Mr. Pure Water typically installs an oxidizing backwash filter sized to your Lois household so contact time and backwash intensity match your demand. In heavier bacterial situations we may recommend pre-treatment or occasional sanitation alongside the backwashing filter, but the oxidizing system is the primary workhorse for routine control. Treating water at the entry point protects faucets, showers and appliances from staining, odors and buildup, and we size systems based on your water chemistry to address causes rather than just symptoms.
