Recommended Treatment Systems for Rainbow
Iron Filtration (Highly Recommended)
Rainbow wells in weathered granite and gabbroic rock commonly have iron problems. Our iron filters remove:
- Ferrous iron (dissolved, clear water iron)
- Ferric iron (rust stains, orange water)
- Iron bacteria (slimy buildup in toilets and pipes)

Your well produces 5-15 GPM. We size treatment systems based on:
- Well flow rate (5-15 GPM)
- Household size and peak demand
- Specific contaminants in your water test
