🌿 The "Natural" Solution for Removing Iron and Sulfur
Until recently, the most common solution for problem iron and sulfur water involved harsh chemicals and complicated equipment — requiring regular care and service by the homeowner or water treatment professional. The Iron Odor Eater offers the natural solution: it uses nature's own oxidation process to eliminate iron and sulfur, giving you fresh, clean, odor-free water throughout your home.
What Makes the Iron Odor Eater Different
Zero Chemicals, Zero Filters
No chlorine, no potassium permanganate, no hydrogen peroxide. No cartridge filters to replace. Nature's oxidation does the work — no chemicals to buy or store.
No Aerators or Compressors
No air compressors, no aerators, no external venturis. The stored air bubble is compressed by your own well pressure — one less thing to maintain or replace.
High-Flow Performance
Single-system household flow rate up to 21 GPM — handling both high iron and high sulfur content without splitting into multiple units.
Ideal For
The Chemical-Free Air Injection Process
The Iron Odor Eater stores a compressed "bubble" of air inside the media tank — compressed naturally by your well pressure. As water passes through this air pocket, oxygen converts dissolved iron and sulfur into solid particles that the catalytic filter media traps.
Air Bubble & Oxidation
Your well pressure compresses a bubble of air inside the media tank. As water passes through, dissolved iron and sulfur are converted into solid, filterable particles.
Catalytic Media Traps
The catalytic filter media captures the now-solid iron and sulfur particles — while the air bubble is gradually consumed by the passing water.
Automatic Backwash
For regeneration, the unit automatically backwashes itself — removing all the trapped iron and sulfur particles out to drain. No chemicals involved.
Air Bubble Replenish
The system draws in fresh atmosphere, transferring oxygen into the media bed. Then it returns to "service" — ready to filter your water again.
Why Pure Water Systems for the Iron Odor Eater
No Chemicals, Ever
Many iron systems require regular chemical injection (chlorine, potassium permanganate). The Iron Odor Eater uses only air — nothing to buy, nothing to handle, nothing to spill.
Protects Your Softener & Appliances
Iron fouls water softeners and shortens appliance life. The Iron Odor Eater protects your softener, water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine — adding years of service life.
Prevents Iron Clogging
Iron buildup clogs pipes (see the Virginia City pipe — 4 years of iron damage). Early treatment prevents thousands of dollars in re-piping expenses.
Handles Iron & Sulfur Together
One system, two solutions — handles both high iron and high sulfur/hydrogen sulfide (rotten-egg) odor in a single tank.
Free Iron & Sulfur Testing
We identify your specific iron type and concentration before recommending this system — dissolved, particulate, or iron bacteria each need different approaches.
30+ Years in Northern Nevada
Since 1993, Pure Water Systems has treated thousands of iron-troubled wells across Reno, Dayton, Fernley, Virginia City, and Carson City.
