Water filters?

[frito]

I work at a powersports store and we have a need for truck or trailer mounted power sprayer with filter. The problem is our well water is bad. Really bad with lots of Iron and nasty stuff.



Are there any decent filtering options for this type of use?

Remove Ferric (rust or dissolved) iron



One of the most common contaminants of well and even municipal water systems is iron. Iron contamination can be found in two general forms, ferric iron which consists of particles of solid iron (rust) that can be removed by mechanical water filters (sediment filters), and ferrous or dissolved iron which must be removed from water by special iron water filters.



In addition to causing an unpleasant metallic taste,Iron particulates in your drinking and household water can cause unsightly staining of plumbing fixtures and laundry. A water softener is capable of removing iron from water up to 0.5 ppm of iron



If your iron content is no more than 3ppm it can be removed with an iron reduction filter cartridge, which effectively removes iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) from municipal or well water. Iron content over 5 ppm iron (or about 2 ppm hydrogen sulfide) requires a better filtration system.



An Iron Removal Filter Cartridge contains manganese greensand, the same media employed in many expensive iron water filtration systems, however, it is packaged in a standard 20 inch filter housing that any homeowner can manage and maintain. When the dissolved iron comes in contact with the manganese greensand media, it is rapidly oxidized, turning the ferrous iron into a ferric form which is then mechanically filtered and removed from the water.



When the iron water filter has reached the end of its service life, it is simply replaced with a new cartridge - there is no media to regenerate, no backwashing, no chemicals to worry about, etc.
