Iron Water Filtration Specialists
Iron Water Filters
Borehole water often naturally contains iron and manganese. These cause staining problems in baths, sinks, and appliances, and can leave deposits in pipework and tanks. At Springhill, we are experts in removing iron from borehole water.
How do I Remove Iron from Well and Borehole Water?
If you are seeing staining, metallic taste, or buildup in your system, a filter to remove iron from well water is usually required to bring water quality to a usable standard.
Types of Iron Water Filters
Iron reduction filters are designed to remove iron and manganese from private water supplies. Systems are selected based on contamination levels, flow rate, and site conditions.
Maintaining filter capacity with backwashing
To stop iron and manganese sediment from completely blocking water flow through the filter, water flow is reversed in a process called backwashing to clean the filter media and maintain performance over time.
Choosing the right system for your water supply
The correct system depends on iron concentration, presence of manganese or hydrogen sulphide, and whether the supply is domestic or commercial.
What are backwashing iron water filter systems?
The system periodically rinses and backwashes (reverses water flow direction through) the filter media to remove collected iron and manganese, keeping it effective.
Maintenance and servicing requirements
- A drain connection similar to a washing machine outlet
- A mains power supply for the control valve
- Periodic checks to ensure correct operation
When do I need a backwashing system for my iron filter?
Backwashing filters are typically used where iron or manganese levels are high or where consistent long-term performance is required.
Why Do I Need Iron and Manganese Water Filtration?
Cost-effective long-term water treatment
Our iron water filtration systems are designed so the media lasts for many years. Replacement materials are available, and we provide guidance on maintenance and servicing.
Safe and clean water
The recommended limit for iron in drinking water is 200 µg/l. Water above 1,000 µg/l can cause severe staining and taste issues. Our systems can remove iron from well water on supplies with much higher concentrations.
Water Testing & System Design
Testing for iron levels and water quality
Water testing helps identify iron, manganese, and other contaminants that affect system choice.
Matching filtration systems to your supply
We assess site conditions and water quality to recommend the most appropriate system.
Recommendations based on results
We offer free no obligation site surveys and practical advice to ensure the system installed matches your water supply requirements.
Installation & Servicing
Professional installation of iron water filters
Systems are installed with the correct connections for drainage, power, and integration into your existing supply.
We sell all the materials needed to top up the media and we provide full installation and servicing instructions.
