Will this system remove iron (rust) from the water?

I don't believe so. The water filter is designed to remove organic impurities from treated water. If you are experiencing rust, it may be coming from your water heater or pipes and needs to be addressed from that channel.

I'm not sure. But I sure has made a heck of a difference on my hair and also skin. Couldn't figure out why my hair looked fabulous in NJ but I move to FL and it looked horrible. Turns out hard water will do it. I am so thankful I got this filter...worth every penny!

I seriously doubt it. If it was carbon steel there might be a chance, but I have never seen stainless rust in fresh water after being treated with tuf glide.

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

Sorry. The only thing that I know of that Might work would be to distill the water and try to get rid of the contaminants afterward. The filter system that seems to filter the best, and remove the most hazards is the Berkey filters. Suggest that you research them. I spent days........,,, looking for something thy would remove salt and biochemical contaminants. There is not one that I could find. I was very impressed with the Berkey, and for a lightweight purifier, I really do like the LifeStraw. It will do more than most of the very small filters. Be sure to get this one, and not the green camoflage one that lets 2 micron particles through. That one seems to be mostly for looks. Hope this helps. Sorry.

They make a 3 canister for well water. It's to combat higher levels of iron I think. I've had this system on city water for a year and absolutely love it. If you don' have iron issues this may work. I would contact the company for selection of a unit.

No. I would recommend the well system unit. This would work on a well but the life would be severely lessened due to high iron levels.

I don't think so. I used it on a gas tank on my motorcycle and it only took off the surface rust but not the think stuff. I soaked it for two days but no luck. Hope this helps you.

No, you would want to use an iron filter inline before this unit. Thank you! Mark Bunner Abundant Flow Water Systems AFW Filters 785-735-9769

I think you have a misunderstanding about the iron Pro 2. This unit uses a special media in the brine tank to chemically change the molecular structure of the water as it passes through it to keep your water from forming rust deposits as it travels trough the pipes. And then the water softener softens the water and sends it on it's way. So in short. there are no filters to buy unles you want to purchase on and instal it before the unit to keep out other debri or an airator to get rid of rotten egg smell. All this information is on there website. No filters to change is the reason I bought this unit. And I will say we do not have rusty water any longer. Hope this helped.

Yes, it will shorten the life a little on metal above ground pools..But we have a used pool, 18 ft steel shell and the rust issue is minimal,we just rinse off the metal areas after each use with a water hose..our ladder is fiberglass and if it is in the water continuously, a metal ladder can' t help but rust/ corrode..

i would say yes....it will remove waterstains on stainless cookwear that even a steelwool pad struggles with..... hope this helps

I believe it works on rust. I have a new home and purchased this to eliminate Clacium and metals. If you research this product I believe you will find it deals with all metal in the water.

Hi, According to WEIMAN This item WILL NOT remove rust. If used regularly it will prevent rust from forming.

It is recommended (and I do!) use distilled water...very inexpensive and I've seen no rust at all.

No. You need an ion-exchange or reverse-osmosis filter to remove dissolved minerals from hard water.

No. This product is for removing oil, grease, brake fluid and other contaminates. For rust you will need to use an abrasive product like the OTC-8342.

Distilled water is recommended so that is what I have always used. Tap water often has deposits that can clog up an iron with sediment. Hope this is helpful.
