Residential Iron, Sulfur, and Manganese Filters

A Zentec Iron Filter from Excalibur Water Systems does more than remove iron from your Fort Wayne area water – it removes dissolved manganese and sulfur as well. 

The most obvious sign of too much iron in your water is stains – reddish-brown stains on fixtures (taps, toilets, tubs, and dishwashers), water that appears slightly brown or has a metallic flavor, and laundry problems – dull colors and dingy whites. The effect of manganese is similar, with black or grey staining replacing the brown. Removing the iron dissolved in water using an Excalibur Zentec Iron Filter keeps your laundry bright, eliminates stains on fixtures, and removes any metallic flavors in your water.

Sulfur, and the hydrogen sulfide associated with it, is responsible for the objectionable “rotten egg smell” sometimes found in well water and some municipal water systems. In addition to the smell, high concentrations of sulfur-based chemicals will corrode plumbing metals (iron, copper, brass) and the exposed metal parts in washing machines and dishwashers. Combining with iron, the sulfur forms ferrous sulfide (“black water”), which darkens silverware and discolors copper and brass utensils and serving ware.

Excalibur’s iron filters are low-maintenance, and because they use dissolved oxygen from the air, there are no chemicals to buy on an ongoing basis and no problems with backwashing into septic beds. Power consumption isn’t an issue either – it costs less than $5.00 per year to operate your Excalibur iron filter.

The Zentec Premium Iron Filter is available in models with flow rates up to 20 gallons per minute, enough to handle any private residential requirement. It handles iron concentrations up to 10 ppm and comes with a 20 year warranty.
