Will this remove iron in the water as well? We have a well with lots of iron in the water.

If it is dissolved in the water, I don't believe so because that would require a chemical reaction. If it is particulate, then yes.

My system puts out water that reads 000ppm on a quality dissolved solids meter. I would think it will remove most everything from the water.

You can but this system also filters the iron content. You don't need anything else with this system.

no. depending on your water softener... determines how much salt it uses. mine is gear driven by water... so every 300 gallons mine regenerates. water softeners don't remove iron... like this air injection sys does. I have noticed a big difference in my water since I bought this system... I would recommend that you get your water tested.... to see if you need an iron removal system

Maybe. I think it will depend on a couple of things... How much iron is in your water and what kind of softener program you have. Iron is one component of hardness so the more iron you remove the less hardness there is to correct. So given that, your softener MAY require less salt to do the job. I do know from talking with the manufacturer of the iron unit that the softener need to go AFTER the iron unit. Ours was predominantly an Iron problem and this unit seems to have corrected the majority of our problem. We haven't added a softener yet, but may; and the unit we get may be smaller because the iron unit is doing a great job. Maybe. I think it will depend on a couple of things...

Remove would not be the correct description. It will reduce dissolved minerals in the 70 to 95% range. So if you start with very high dissolved solids for example and iron sulfide is one of the dissolved salts there will still be some left. That said, when you smell iron you are really smelling H2S being liberated by iron reducing bacteria in the water supply system. The carbon filter in this device will remove that to below detection level.

It does not. Water stays clear, and since I started using Iron Out, have not had toilet ring problems from iron in the water. Works great.

First, it depends on your tap water. Because of the reservoir, hard water can result in deposits and build-up that cause the iron to steam unevenly, clog or "spurt". If you were to empty the reservoir after each use and "flush" the hose, that might not be a problem. But realistically, most of us tend to leave the water in the tank when the iron isn't in use - especially if the iron is being used by a sewist or quilter. I recommend double-checking the recommendation to use distilled water as most of the Rowenta irons I've used specifically state not to use it because it often causes the iron to leak. With my Rowenta Steam Station iron, I've always used bottled "drinking water" because my tap water is quite hard. First, it depends on your tap water.

Yes Marge. We use a carbon filter as it removes chlorine, iron,organics from our private well. I trust you and your family are doing well. Kindest regards, Lynn

We only use it on stainless on our boat; stanchions; sink in head etc. It takes the water spots out in the sink. We both love this product. It removes everything for us. makes the boat 'stand tall'

Sorry, no. The water is discharged waste and all. It is a great tool though!

Yes. I've found it works best if you fill the sink or toilet to just above the iron stain and then add Iron Out.

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes fluoride.

I use it 2-3 times a week, we have well water with alot of iron in it. I use the treatment packet about every other week

I'm not sure but I'm guessing that if it can remove iron it probably would remove dimethicone too!

We have both city water for drinking and well water for our farm. For city water it works well. It removes the chlorine for sure as well as most elements.

I don't know....I returned this iron after I used it once it leaked like a broken water pipe....
