Chlorine bleach is the brute-force method. A shocking treatment kills iron bacteria instantly. It smells like a swimming pool, but it works.
For a gentler touch, use an air injection filter. It uses a pocket of air to rust the iron quickly, then catches it. It’s like a tornado in a bucket, but for good.
The Household Savior: Hydrogen Peroxide
Fun fact: food-grade hydrogen peroxide (35%) is incredible for brown water. It oxidizes iron without the chlorine smell.
Your water will taste better, too. It’s like giving your well a vitamin bath. Just handle it with gloves—it’s strong stuff.
