Question

I living in trivandrum , i use well water which is irion qty is near to 2pp. kindly advise me how to remove it

Answer 1

Brita filter

There are several whole house filters check your plumber and there are companies that are like Culligan who have resin filters they service.the restaurants and motels.

EDIT

try to be more accurate

2pp is is no help

Is that 2parts per gallon or million.

Answer 2

dude! did u mean iron?

try using magnet then, may work. :-)

Answer 3

I'm glad you asked this question because I have iron in my well water and I have not yet addressed it properly.  

It depends on the type of iron, soluble or insoluble.  You need to identify the type of iron and possibly the source to determine the best method of addressing it.  

Soluble or "clear water" iron, is the most common form and the one that creates the most complaints by water users. This type of iron is identified after you've poured a glass,of cold clear water. If allowed to stand for a few minutes, reddish brown particles will appear in the glass and eventually settle to the bottom.

When insoluble iron, or "red water" iron is poured into a glass, it appears rusty or has a red or yellow color. Although not very common in some places in water wells, insoluble iron can create serious taste and appearance problems for the water user.

Because iron combines with different naturally occurring acids, it may also exist as an organic complex. A combination of acid and iron, or organic iron, can be found in shallow wells and surface water. Although this kind of iron can be colorless, it is usually yellow or brown.

Finally, when iron exists along with certain kinds of bacteria, problems can become even worse. Iron bacteria consume iron to survive and leave a reddish brown or yellow slime that can clog plumbing and cause an offensive odor. You may notice this slime or sludge in your toilet tank when you remove the lid.

No one treatment technique works for every iron problem. In some cases, well construction or reconstruction may actually be more cost effective than treatment.

Here are a few possibilities:

Aeration: Introducing oxygen to the water source to convert soluble iron to its insoluble form.

Filtration: Media used to entrap and screen out oxidized particles of iron. Usually requires backwashing to remove accumulated iron.

Water Softener: Removal of soluble iron by ion exchange.

Manganese Greensand: An ion exchange sand material which is capable of removing iron. Adsorbs dissolved iron and requires chemical regeneration.

Catalytic Filtration "BIRM": A granular filter medium that enhances the reaction between oxygen and iron and then filters the insoluble iron.

Ozonation: A specialized form of aeration using ozone to convert soluble iron.

Ion Exchange: Substituting an acceptable ion (such as sodium) for soluble iron.

Sequestering: Adding chemical agents to water to keep metals like iron in solution to prevent characteristic red stains.

Chlorination: Chemical oxidizer used to convert soluble iron to an insoluble, filterable form.
