IRON FILTERS IN ST. CHARLES, IL
Should you get a full house iron filtration system? We typically recommend that our clients install an iron filtration system if iron levels are hard enough to impact the taste or appearance of their drinking water. Excess iron in your water can wreak havoc on plumbing fixtures and make it difficult to do laundry or wash dishes with confidence in your local Chicagoland area.
What Problems Does an Iron Filter Solve?
Do your clothes look dingy and stained after you wash them? Does your drinking water taste bad and smell like rotten eggs? When the water in your home contains excess levels of iron, sulfur gas or manganese, you end up with yellow, brown or “rusty” water coming out of your faucets and shower. Flotek Plumbing provides whole house iron filtration systems that remove these contaminants, leaving you with fresh, clean-tasting water for your household needs.
We recommend and install the EverGreen Clear Iron Solution and Manganese Catalytic Collector. This iron filter system removes nuisance gases and minerals that prevent you from enjoying the clean water that most homeowners take for granted.
There are many advantages to installing a whole house iron filtration system, including the following:
- The iron filter regenerates without the use of chemicals. The system recharges by using oxygen during an air scour process. So, you don't need chlorine, salt or potassium to operate the system.
- This low maintenance system doesn't have internal parts that become clogged or worn, requiring frequent replacements and repairs. Annual maintenance inspections can uncover any issues that you have with the system.
- During the backwash process that removes iron and manganese, the Evergreen Clear Iron Solution uses 25% of the water required by less efficient systems.
Choose Flotek Plumbing when you want consistent efficiency unavailable with traditional iron filtration systems.
How Does an Iron Filter Work?
A whole house iron filtration system contains a natural catalyst that attracts and traps iron, manganese and other contaminants in your water. The type of iron filter used by Flotek plumbers in the Chicago suburbs doesn’t require chemicals that could end up back in your drinking water. Instead, it uses fresh air to recharge itself and activate.
The iron filter reuses the active media after cycling it through oxygen that naturally occurs in the air. Once the active filter material releases captured iron and manganese, it’s recycled. This innovative process uses 75% less water than most backwashing filters on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions About Iron Filters
To remove iron from the water in your home, you need an iron filter. An iron filtration system removes dissolved iron, sulfur and manganese from well water or municipal water sources.
Although some water softener systems also detect dissolved iron, they may let high levels pass through to your faucet. In this case, your water will still smell like rotten eggs and may have a rusty appearance. A whole house iron filtration system can resolve the issue.
EverGreen Clear Iron Solution System is built to withstand heavy use and safeguard your home’s water supply for 7-10 year (catalytic collector) and offers a lifetime warranty on the internal parts of the system.
Whole-house systems can reduce the amount of iron found in water throughout your home, removing buildup, protecting water-using appliances and reducing staining in your sinks, tubs and laundry. However, you’ll need to add an iron filter, such as the EverGreen Clear Iron Solution System to remove large amounts of water from well water or tap water.
Yes, you can combine a whole house iron filtration system with your water softener system. This powerful combination removes tiny particles that can negatively impact the quality of your household water. For high levels of inorganic iron, you’ll need a powerful iron filter.
Flotek Plumbing technicians can perform an inspection of your water to make a recommendation tailored to your family’s needs.
Testimonials
“I recently purchased a new slide in range and needed to have the gas pipe in the kitchen moved behind the range. Gabriel was able to come to do the job within a couple days. The job was done quickly and accurately. I was even given a break in price from the original estimate as the work took less time than estimated. I recommend this company.”
Eileen Berman
“This was my first experience with Flotek (Gabriel was the person that handled the work at my home). He was very pleasant; arrived at the time given, completed the work within the time he quoted and for the price he quoted. He also made sure everything was working properly before he left. I would recommend Flotek to my family and friends.”

Alex Maidy
“We had our shower back up pretty late at night. They came out within the hour, and not only unclogged our pipe, but made sure that all our plumbing was working. The other plumbers we called couldn't get out until the next day at the earliest! This guy went above and beyond. Great plumber!”
Tigerden MC
“The night before Thanksgiving I had a sudden plumbing issue and Gabriel picked up the phone when I called Flotek Plumbing. He and Miguel came to my house when they said they were going to be there and when they got to my house did a fabulous job fixing the issue, answering all my questions and being awesome in every sense of the word. I don't know how else to put it. If you want honesty, integrity, and friendly service call this company, ESPECIALLY Gabe and Miguel! I'm a service provider myself and was very impressed with them. And they price very honestly and reasonably! Thank you Flotek Plumbing..serious kudos!”
