How To Tell if Your Iron Filter
Needs Repair
Depending on how much iron and the type of iron you have in your water, it may be apparent that your iron filter needs service. For some, the differences in the water may be subtle. Here are some telltale signs your iron filter needs a repair or needs maintenance.
The water smells like rotten eggs
Rotten egg odor is a commonly occurring symptom with iron in well water. If you start to notice your water smelling like rotten eggs or sulfur, there is a pretty good chance your iron filter needs service or a repair.
Iron bleed through or staining
A properly functioning iron filter removes iron from the water before it gets to your fixtures. If you start to see red staining in your sinks, toilet tanks and bowls, your iron curtain is passing iron and needs to be repaired.
Iron filter doesn’t regenerate
Whole home iron filters go through a regeneration process similar to a water softener but for different purposes. If your iron filter doesn’t go through a regeneration cycle every 2-3 days, the unit will need to be repaired.
Water pooling around the iron filter tanks
Leaking on or around iron filters and iron curtains is usually not a great sign and typically means a service call is needed.
Low water pressure and flow
If your iron filter aeration tank or filtration bed gets plugged with iron, it will dramatically decrease the water pressure and flow through your plumbing system.
Steady flow of water to the iron filter drain
If the inside of the iron filter controller is damaged, you will notice a steady flow of water through the drain. An iron filter that is dripping from the drain line is a sign of a damaged iron filter and requires a repair.
Air and sputtering in water lines
Malfunctioning valves inside an iron filter can allow trapped air to escape the iron filter and get into the system. Sputtering from faucets can be a telltale sign your iron filter needs maintenance or repairs.

Tips To Extend the Life of Your Iron Filter
INCREASE YOUR WELL’S WATER PRESSURE
How well your iron filter works has a lot to do with your well water pressure. Simply getting another few PSI out of your well system can increase the performance and extend the life of your iron filter for help with your well water pressure.
BACKWASH YOUR IRON FILTER FREQUENTLY
Iron filters backwash every 1-3 days. Many people try to extend this to save water, but frequent backwashing keeps the filtration bed full and prevents channeling, which will make the iron filter work better and reduce iron filter repairs.
DON’T PROCRASTINATE HAVING YOUR IRON FILTER REPAIRED OR SERVICED
If you notice your iron filter not working like it should, it’s important you take action right away. A broken iron filter isn’t necessarily an emergency but pushing off iron filter repairs tend to lead to larger problems.
