Can you have too much Iron in water? If the water looks dirty BEFORE your kids take a bath, the answer is YES! Here’s a quick look at a client in Prior Lake who had the same problem.
Our customer never had a private well before moving out of the city. They soon noticed a weird “well water smell”. No one in the family wanted to drink the water.
They called several companies and got quotes on Iron Filter and Water Softener Systems . Finally they called Premier Water. We found a system that fixed their water. Better yet, it fit the space and their budget!
The previous owners had a whole house filter and a Waterboss softener. But the water was still awful. Rusty, smelly. The kids wouldn’t drink it. Mom and Dad wouldn’t either.
With 6 people in the family, our client’s water use really varied. It could be very light during the week. On weekends they could do a ton of laundry.
The Waterboss was too small. It always ran out of soft water in the middle of the day!
We also detected Iron Bacteria during our consultation. Orange slime in toilet tanks and around the floor drain was hard to miss. This bacteria grows through softeners and forms a corrosive, smelly slime.
Our consultation started with a water test. Then we determined the flow rate their family needed.
Once we gathered that information, we could discuss which technologies would work best. We also had to find a way to fit everything into a small space while keeping it accessible for future service.
They needed a solution that solved 4 problems:
Iron Curtain Storm
If you want to stop Iron Bacteria, you need to continually disinfect your water. The Iron Curtain Storm uses ozone as a natural disinfectant. It kills bacteria, but quickly breaks down into oxygen. There’s no chemical taste or smell like systems that use chlorine or hydrogen peroxide. It’s a really effective, simple system to maintain.
We installed a 12” Filter with a specialty media that would support up to 8 gallons per minute. This was 4x better than the old whole house water filter.
Twin Tank Well Water Softener
Our Twin Tank Softener switches back and forth between tanks. You can’t run out of soft water. It cleans itself with soft water too. This works better – just like washing dishes in soft water vs. hard water.
Better still, our configuration uses roughly 50% less salt than the old softener.
Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water
Better drinking water was the final piece of this puzzle. We use membrane technology that reduces over 96% of contaminants in water. This system removes all the remaining salts and metals that cause the bad taste and well water smell.
Are you frustrated with your water? Is it rusty or smelly? Premier Water Technologies is a local Minnesota water treatment company. We’ve been fixing well water in the Twin Cities since 1978.

The issue of dirty well water is an important one for rural households that rely on a well for drinking water. The appearance of the water usually provides a clue about the source of the contamination but not always. A brownish hue could indicate mineral contamination, but it could also indicate the presence of organic matter, which is more serious.
The vulnerability of a well to contamination by surface water is a function of its depth; shallow wells are more vulnerable than deep ones. There could also be environmental reasons you find dirt in your water, such as recent heavy rainfall and flooding. In some cases, discoloration is no cause for alarm and is relatively easy to address, but in others, you may have to sterilize the well, and in still others, mud in the well water could indicate your well is going dry.
One of the most common causes of discoloration of well water is the presence of iron and other minerals. As groundwater seeps through the bedrock, it can absorb these minerals, and although they don't present a health hazard, they give the water an unpleasant, metallic taste.
If your well water has a high mineral content, you've probably noticed discoloration for some time, and you may have installed a filter to keep the water clean. If you suddenly notice it for the first time, you may need a new filter, but the cause may also be in the plumbing. Corrosion in a galvanized pipe or fitting may have progressed to the point that it has begun actively releasing rust into the water. This is a problem for which you need a plumber to track down the source of the corrosion and replace the necessary pipes and fittings.
If your well is less than 50 feet deep, it could potentially be contaminated by runoff of surface water during a period of heavy rain. Wells must be separated from all components of a septic system by at least 100 feet, but even at that distance, a shallow well could be affected by a septic leak during an unusually catastrophic flood event.
This type of contamination is dangerous, and if you suspect it, you should stop using the well immediately, and you shouldn't use it until the ground has dried out, and you've decontaminated the well with chlorine bleach. The procedure is to pour a bleach solution into the well, run all plumbing fixtures in the house until you smell bleach coming from them, and then leave the plumbing undisturbed for 12 to 24 hours. After that, run each fixture until the bleach odor disappears.
Well pump systems have filters to remove sediment, but if these filters fail, you may notice dirt in the water. This is a warning to clean or replace the pump filters, which is a job for a well service professional. If you have a standalone sediment filter, it's also time to consider a well sediment filter replacement.
Muddy water from the tap is also a possible indication of a more serious problem: a low water level in the well caused by groundwater depletion. Suspect this if you've been experiencing a period of drought and neighbors are experiencing a similar problem. Reduce your water consumption to give the well more time to recharge. If that doesn't help, the only option may be to dig a deeper well.
