Iron-Soft Water Softener for Well Water

How Iron-Soft Treats Iron and Hard Water

The Iron-Soft system tackles both hard water and iron at the same time—without needing multiple tanks or complex setups. Using advanced filtration media like Purolite SST-60, Katalox Light, and KDF-85, it removes minerals, iron, and even traces of heavy metals that can stain fixtures, clog pipes, and damage appliances.

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

What Makes This System Unique?

  • Dual-function filtration that reduces hardness and iron in one system
  • Long life span — softeners typically last 20 to 30 years, with only the top media requiring replacement every 10 years
  • Eco-friendly design — use less salt and water per cycle
  • Professional-grade components used by top water treatment specialists
  • Custom programming based on your water test results

Ideal For...

  • Homes with well water that contains both iron and hardness
  • Gardens or irrigation systems (optional bypass available to avoid softening garden water)
  • Homeowners seeking low-maintenance, long-term protection

Pure Water Choices provides expert installation:

  • Includes setup of Clack WS-1 E backwashing valve
  • Full configuration of flow rates and regeneration cycles based on your water test report
