 WATER
WELL INFORMATION
Iron &
Manganese in Groundwater
- What are
iron and manganese?
- Iron (Fe) and
manganese (Mn) are metallic elements present in many types of
rock. Both are found naturally in ground water in most if not
all regions of the US. Aesthetic levels for iron in drinking
water is less than or equal to 0.3 mg/L or ppm while the level
for manganese in drinking water is less than or equal to 0.05
mg/L or ppm. Water with high levels of iron and manganese may
cause staining on plumbing fixtures and laundry. High can cause
off color, bad bitter tastes, and rust flakes in the water. Similarity,
manganese typically form black particles and also give the water
an off color and unpleasant taste.
-
- Calcium
& Mangnesium in Groundwater
-
- What is hard
water?
- Water that is
hard contains calcium and magnesium compounds. Rain water is
naturally soft - it does not contain any minerals, but as it
seeps through the ground it can pick up minerals, such as calcium
and magnesium compounds, from the soil and rocks it passes through.
If rain water passes through soft rocks like chalk or limestone,
it picks up these minerals. If it passes through hard rocks,
such as granite or through peaty soils, it does not pick up these
minerals and so remains soft. Hard water causes pipes to scale
to collect in coffee makers, dishwashers and washing machines.
If the scale collects in hot water haeters it shortens their
life and makes appliances less efficient. It is also more difficult
to work up a lather from soap, washing up liquid and washing
powders.
-
- Hydrogen
Sulfide in Groundwater
-
- What is sulfur
water?
- Sulfur in your
well water supply is easily recognized by its offensive odor.
Hydrogen sulfide gas causes "rotten-egg" or sulfur
water smell. High concentrations can also change the taste of
the water. As well as, corrode metals such as iron, steel, copper
and brass. Hydrogen sulfide amounts of 0.5 mg/l or more are usually
noticed, even in cold water. Wells drilled in shale or sandstone,
or near coal or oil fields often have hydrogen sulfide present.Hydrogen
sulfide may also be produced when sulfate in well water converts
to hydrogen sulfide. Certain non-disease-producing bacteria (sulfur
bacteria) use the oxygen in the sulfate to form hydrogen sulfide.
-
- Total
Dissolved Solids in Groundwater
What is TDS?
Total dissolved solids (TDS) is a measure of the total amount
of all the materials that are dissolved in water. These materials,
both natural and anthropogenic (made by humans), are mainly inorganic
solids, with a minor amount of organic material. Depending on
the type of water, TDS can vary greatly from a few milligrams
per liter to percent levels (tens of thousands of milligrams
per liter). Seawater contains 3.5% (35,000 mg/L) TDS. Elevated
TDS levels are often due to natural environmental features such
as: mineral springs, carbonate deposits, salt deposits and sea
water intrusion, but other sources may include: salts used for
road de-icing, sewage, drinking water treatment chemicals, stormwater
and agricultural runoff, and wastewater discharges. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Secondary Drinking Water
Standards recommends that the TDS concentrations in drinking
water not exceed 500 mg/L based on taste and aesthetics.
-
- National Secondary
Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWRs or secondary standards) are
non-enforceable guidelines regulating contaminants that may cause
cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic
effects (such as taste, odor, or color) in drinking water. EPA
recommends secondary standards to water systems but does not
require systems to comply. However, states may choose to adopt
them as enforceable standards.
-
- EPA Secondary
Drinking Water Limits For The Following:
- Color 15 (color
units)
- Chloride 250
mg/L
Corrosivity noncorrosive
Iron 0.3 mg/L
Manganese 0.05 mg/L
Odor 3 threshold odor number
pH 6.5-8.5
Sulfate 250 mg/L
Total Dissolved Solids 500 mg/L

Systems is a leading ground water filter company providing water
treatment solutions, information and technical support for all
filtration water treatment products and equipment. Many websites
claim to be water treatment "specialist" and offer
filters at "rock bottom wholesale prices" However,
we have discovered that very few water treatment companies have
the knowledge, ability or the equipment selection to effectively
treat your ground water problems. We consider iron, manganese
and sulfur filters for hydrogen sulfide removal to be our specialty.
Please continue on to see how easily we can solve your ground
water related iron problems.
