Iron-Soft Iron Removal Softener: Customized Water Softening and Iron Filtration for Well Water Homes
‍

Say Goodbye to Iron Stains and Hard Water Problems in One Powerful System

If you rely on well water, chances are you’ve faced the frustrating combination of hard water and iron contamination. Rusty stains, metallic tastes, scaling buildup, and corroded pipes are all symptoms of a deeper water quality issue. At Pure Water Choices, we recommend the Iron-Soft Iron Removal Softener — a tailored whole-home solution designed to soften your water and remove iron in a single, highly efficient system.
‍

Why Choose the Iron-Soft System?

This isn’t a standard water softener. The Iron-Soft system combines two essential functions:

• Water Softening – Removes calcium and magnesium to prevent scaling, soap scum, and appliance damage.
• Iron Removal – Filters out ferrous (dissolved) and ferric (oxidized) iron before it enters your home’s plumbing.

Built using top-tier components like a Clack WS-1 E series backwashing valve, Enpress Vortex tank, and premium filtration media, this system provides long-lasting, low-maintenance protection for your entire home.
‍

System Overview and Components

• 10 x 54" Enpress Mid-Tank Vortex Tank

This advanced tank uses an internal baffle to separate two distinct filtration layers, maximizing treatment performance.
‍

• Filtration Media Layers

• Bottom Layer: 1 cubic foot of Purolite SST-60, a premium resin designed for both iron removal and softening.
• Top Layer: A carefully measured blend of:
  
  • 1/2 cubic foot of Katalox Light for iron and manganese removal
  • 4 pounds of KDF-85 media for heavy metals and chlorine

Together, these layers create a powerful treatment matrix that tackles multiple water quality challenges simultaneously.

• Salt Efficiency

The Iron-Soft system is engineered to be salt-efficient, using less salt per regeneration cycle while still delivering high performance.

Includes: 6 bags of salt + initial setup and programming
‍
