Well Water Solution

Clear Iron & Manganese From Your Well Water

Greensand filtration that stops the rust and black staining dissolved iron and manganese leave behind.

Why this matters

Dissolved iron and manganese are the most common well-water complaints. They stain sinks, tubs, and laundry a rusty orange or brownish-black, build up inside pipes and water heaters, clog fixtures, and give water a metallic taste. Left untreated they shorten the life of every appliance the water touches. Greensand media oxidizes and captures them at the main line.

Signs you might have this problem

  • Orange, red, or brown-black staining on sinks, toilets, and tubs
  • Rust-colored spots on laundry, even after washing
  • A metallic or penny taste
  • Low pressure or clogging at aerators and shower heads over time

Pairs best with

Acidic well water keeps iron dissolved, so it slips straight through the filter. The pH neutralizer raises the pH first, so the greensand can actually catch and remove the iron particles at full efficiency.

Installation & maintenance

Installs at the main line after the pressure tank, with a drain for the backwash cycle. The greensand bed backwashes automatically to stay active and regenerates on schedule. A water test sets the right size, media, and cycle. Professional installation available in Austin and surrounding areas.

Frequently asked questions

Does greensand remove manganese as well as iron?

Yes. Greensand and greensand-plus media oxidize and capture both dissolved iron and manganese, the two minerals behind rust and black staining.

Will a softener remove my iron?

A softener handles small amounts of dissolved iron, but staining-level iron needs a dedicated iron filter ahead of the softener.

Why do I need a water test first?

Iron type, concentration, and pH change which media and size actually work. The test prevents an under-sized system that keeps staining, and it tells us whether you need the pH neutralizer first.

Not sure which system is right?
