does it have an opportunity to combine with oxygen, chlorine (as a disinfectant) chloromines or other components that can combine with the now unstable iron molecule’s reactive sites to precipitate and create ferric iron (Fe++) or rusty water. However, generally the iron does not begin to reduce to a precipitant until after the water is pumped up from the ground and into the water distribution system. If our water treatment can be introduced just past the well pump and before chlorination, we can successfully prevent iron precipitation. The ferrous iron molecule’s reactive sites would rather stabilize with our treatment and remain ferrous (dissolved and clear) than become a precipitated mineral (rusty water).
Iron can also be a component of mineral scale deposits (along with calcium and manganese) found on the interior surfaces of water pipe distribution lines. These deposits can not only reduce the volume of the internal pipe lowering carrying capacities, but they can sometime break loose to cause rusty water complaints. Our water treatment will slowly over time dissolve these mineral deposits until it can no longer chemically disperse the scale. At this point the treatment will lay down a thin coating to create a barrier between the water and the pipe surface to effectively reduce pipe corrosion
Please review our various water treatment formulations to determine the one best for your application. Our Sequest-All, Sequest-All EMC and Linear2 are excellent iron sequestrants for potable water systems and irrigation systems.
