Sulfur is a common contaminate in the water in Naples, Fort Myers and throughout Lee & Collier Counties. It is easily identified by the terrible rotten egg smell that it emits in our homes and irrigation systems.
The answer to this problem comes by way of a few simple treatment methods: Aeration, Oxidation by Injection, Redox and Filtration.
AERATION is the process of adding air to the water (It is a form of Oxidation). The air mixes with the water and causes the iron molecule to oxidize and theoretically fall out of solution, given enough time and other circumstances. This has been a common method of iron removal in Florida for many years. It is highly effective and simple. The drawback is that it requires the use of additional storage tanks, pumps, and controls.
OXIDATION is the process oxidizing contaminates in the water. Different elements are introduced via an injection port and the water is run through a series of retention or mixing chambers allowing the time needed to oxidize the contaminate, in this case iron, so that it can be more easily removed by filtration media. Some of the elements commonly used to oxidize contaminates in water are air, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide.
REDOX is the process of using a catalyst media to change soluble ferrous cations into insoluble ferric hydroxide which is then filtered out of the water and easily removed by backwashing.
FILTRATION is the process of trapping certain contaminates via a filter or filter media which after reaching its capacity is then cleaned itself or replaced. Filtration has long been used in the removal of iron and it is also very effective. Unfortunately, traditional filters are expensive or require a lot of maintenance.
Sulfur filters are a chemical-free proprietary combination or all the above treatment technologies in one machine. machine. It is a guaranteed solution to your smelly water problems!
When your water enters the compact tank open-air chamber, it is aerated, and the oxidation process begins. The water then goes through layers of media, redox media and filtration media. The sulfur filter is backwashed and recharged when the water is not in use. During this process, the media is cleaned, and the sulfur and hydrogen sulfide are sent down the drain. With minimal maintenance, this system will provide sulfur-free water for many, many years.
Sulfur filters are sized according to your needs and the amount of sulfur in your water. Call for a quick and easy free quote today! 239-465-8796
