Hydrogen Peroxide for Iron and Sulfur
Since 2010, Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) has become our treatment solution of choice for the oxidation of iron and sulfide. Compared to a chlorinator, HP systems are far more reliable and far less harmful to the environment.
Disinfection
For disinfection we always recommend the use of ultraviolet light (UV). UV is an efficient disinfectant and is very low maintenance. UV manufacturers recommend replacing the UV bulb once per year for effectiveness.

Soft Water Benefits
The addition of a water softener to any treatment strategy comes with many benefits.
No hard water stains
Extends life of water using appliances
Gentle on hair, skin, clothing, and linens
Use less soap for washing
Other Oxidizers
Another alternative to chlorination or HP is air. The Air Draw filter draws in air to oxidize iron and sulfide in the water, it then filters the contaminants with catalytic carbon. Some prefer this method for less maintenance. This can be seen as a more economical approach due to the fact of not adding any additional oxidation catalysts.
