Chlorine, Odor, and Taste Removal Solutions

For eliminating or reducing chlorine and taste problems, carbon material is used because it is a highly effective and relatively inexpensive method of doing so. Certain herbicides, pesticides, and chemicals are reduced with carbon material as well. A special type of carbon, catalytic carbon, can be used for mild to moderate sulfur or “rotten egg” smells found in problem wells.

Basic water-in water-out tanks filled with carbon (in-out tanks) are used frequently because there is no electricity required, no back flushing, no waste water and no timer necessary. The carbon tank eventually has to have the old carbon removed and new carbon added.

Electric or non-electric back flushing systems are also available for use in more challenging water situations. Your Blue Fountain Water representative will be glad to discuss with you which method is best for your particular situation.
