High iron and manganese levels are common in South African borehole water, causing orange-brown stains on fixtures, metallic taste, and sometimes a sulfur smell. Our specialized removal systems use oxidation and filtration technology to effectively eliminate these minerals before they cause problems in your home. Automatic backwash systems keep the filter media clean and effective, requiring minimal maintenance. Whether you have mild iron tinting or severe staining issues, we have solutions scaled to your water's specific mineral content.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about this service.
How do I know if I have iron in my water?
Common signs include orange/brown stains on toilets and sinks, metallic taste, reddish-brown sediment in water, and rust-colored laundry stains. We can test your water to confirm exact levels.
What's the difference between iron and manganese?
Iron causes orange/red stains while manganese causes black/purple stains. Both are common in borehole water and our systems address both effectively.
How does the backwash system work?
The automatic backwash reverses water flow through the filter media periodically (typically every few days) to flush out accumulated iron and manganese, keeping the system effective.
Will this make my borehole water safe to drink?
Iron/manganese removal improves aesthetics and taste but doesn't address bacterial contamination. We recommend combining with UV sterilization for complete drinking water safety.
