How or is there a way to reduce iron & sulfur content in well water?

Question

The sulfur smell is pretty bad and the iron is "staining everything from the showers to the dishwasher. There is a salt/softener system already in place. Could that make it better or worse?

Answer 2

My husband owns a dairy farm, and we have sulfur water. We go through huge amounts a water with washing the milk tank and watering the cows, and he has used Peroxide since the day I met him. The only time I notice the sulfur is when the peroxide wears out, so it does a very good job, and the cows drink better when the water is treated. I'm not talking about over the counter peroxide, this is industrial strength peroxide that comes in a huge blue container that gets hooked directly to our well pump and mixes directly with the water being pumped out. I don't drink the water still (we buy our drinking water), but it's much more enjoyable doing laundry, showering, even brushing our teeth. If you want to know more, e-mail me, I'll be happy to answer any questions!! I'm not sure if it helps with iron...but I do know they sell special salt to put in your softener that will remove the iron...have you tried that?
