WELL WATER IRRIGATION FILTRATION
Staining on Walkways, Siding & Cars
It is easy to recognize poor water quality inside your home because you are in such close contact with it. Bad taste, dull laundry, bad odors or stained appliances will alert you to many water quality issues. Outside, stained walkways and siding could be attributed to other environmental factors. However, the culprit is most often water with a high mineral content. Fortunately, these problems can easily be corrected with a well water irrigation filtration system.
Mineral Staining From Well Water
Irrigation water that contains a high level of iron or manganese can be troublesome. Noticeably, brown, orange or reddish staining on walkways, patios, lawn furniture, automobiles or siding may occur. One approach to this problem is to add mineral inhibiting chemicals to the water. In following, this will coat the iron and/or manganese molecules contained in the water, temporarily preventing staining. However, once the water evaporates from horizontal surfaces, the iron/manganese is left behind to leaves staining.. The only sure way to prevent this staining is to “remove” these staining minerals from your well water irrigation supply.

Irrigation Filtration System Integration
For the most effective well water irrigation filtration system, the optimal approach is to build and install a water filtration system that is custom-designed to work with your lawn’s existing lawn irrigation system. Consultation between your lawn irrigation professional and water filtration professional throughout the design process will ensure that there is no pressure loss or compromised water flow from the filtration system.
