Including filter system and high-performance Iron filter.
Iron in home water can be an ongoing annoyance for Pace homeowners. Even when it isn’t a direct health risk, elevated iron can tint water, leave a metallic flavor, and cause reddish-brown stains on sinks, tubs, toilets, and laundry. Over months and years, iron deposits also build up inside fixtures and appliances, making them harder to clean and maintain around the house.
Iron appears in different chemical forms, which changes how it looks and behaves in your Pace water. Dissolved ferrous iron often runs clear from the tap but will turn orange or brown after exposure to air. Ferric iron is already oxidized and may show up as visible sediment or particles. In some cases, iron can interact with other compounds to create off-odors that make drinking and showering less pleasant.
For most homes in Pace, the most reliable single whole-house option is an oxidation-plus-filtration iron filter using catalytic media. This system converts dissolved ferrous iron into a filterable form and then captures the particles as water passes through the tank, reducing both staining and discoloration. Because it treats water at the point of entry, it helps protect plumbing, fixtures, and appliances across your whole house.
A catalytic iron filter is commonly paired with an automatic backwashing control valve that flushes away trapped iron and keeps the media working efficiently. That automatic rinse reduces the maintenance found with cartridge-only filters and helps prevent clogging. The optimal configuration depends on the iron form and any additional concerns like sediment or manganese, but a properly sized whole-house catalytic system delivers clearer water at every Pace tap and fewer stubborn stains to scrub.
