Iron Water Filtration
Clearer, Better Water
Iron and manganese are common in private water supplies, particularly boreholes. While naturally occurring, these minerals can cause staining, unpleasant tastes and damage to plumbing systems if left untreated.

Why Remove Iron?
Why Install an Iron Water Filter?
If your water leaves orange, brown or black stains on sinks, baths or appliances, has a metallic taste or causes deposits in pipework, an iron reduction filter is often the most effective solution.
Our systems are designed to remove iron, manganese and, where required, hydrogen sulphide, improving both the appearance and quality of your water.

Customer Testimonial
"Our water treatment system, designed to remove extremely high levels of iron and manganese from our borehole supply, was overly complicated and not effective or reliable. Matthew installed a new simplified and effective system that we now have confidence in. The advice and service we received throughout was excellent."

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my borehole water contain iron?
Iron and manganese occur naturally in many groundwater supplies. While not usually harmful at low levels, high concentrations can cause staining, unpleasant tastes and deposits within plumbing systems.
How do I know if I need an iron filter?
Common signs include orange, brown or black staining, metallic-tasting water, discoloured laundry, staining around taps and reduced water quality.
What is a backwashing iron filter?
A backwashing system automatically reverses the flow of water through the filter media, flushing away collected iron and manganese to maintain long-term performance.
When is a backwashing system required?
Backwashing filters are typically recommended where iron or manganese concentrations are high or where continuous, reliable filtration is required.
What does an iron filtration system need?
Most systems require:
- A suitable drainage connection for backwashing
- A mains electrical supply for the control valve
- Routine servicing to ensure optimum performance
Can the filter remove manganese and hydrogen sulphide?
Yes. Depending on your water analysis, our systems can be designed to remove iron, manganese and hydrogen sulphide from private water supplies.
How effective are Springhill Iron Master systems?
Our Iron Master filters have been successfully installed on water supplies containing iron concentrations of up to 19,000 µg/l, significantly above the recommended drinking water limit of 200 µg/l.
Do you install and service iron filters?
Yes. We provide complete installation, servicing, replacement media and ongoing maintenance for domestic and commercial filtration systems throughout Yorkshire and the North of England.
