are there companies with the technology to remove iron and manganese in water. enough to filter water at a rate of around 60liters per second(lps). will appreciate information on the possible cost and the technical specifications of the system.
The Maxi-Cure 125 Series is designed for the customer who prefers a no maintenance whole house water filter that does not require salt or chemicals to be added to the water or is the perfect choice for areas that have banned sodium based water softener discharge.The Maxi-Cure-125 high flow iron filter water conditioners are used to remove iron (red/brown stains), manganese (grey/black stains), and hydrogen sulfide gas (rotten egg odor) as well as provide hard water scale prevention. Requires no salt or chemicals!
The Maxi-Cure-125 Series are self-backwashing well water treatment systems that automatically clean it's filtration bed. This is accomplished with the electronic control valve that is mounted on top of the Maxi-Cure-125. This valve is controlled by a timer, that on a regular interval, initiates the backwash cycle that cleans the bed of filtration media and resets it for the next period of filtration. Our Maxi-Cure includes the Fleck 7000 Digital Control Valve to provide quick setup and programming. Nearly All Of Our Competitors Still Offer An Older Mechanical (dial) Version Of This New Modernized Control Valve.

I noticed that the water in my area is yellow, which concerned me until we got a noticed from the Utility company stating there is high Iron and it is not dangerous. I have also noticed lately that my cats litter box is more funky!! (it's an automatic one) It smells like ammonia, and I have to clean it more often now. Is that because of the Iron, or just a coincidence?
Yeah, I don't mean that it is ammonia- I was just describing the smell!!!!
That would be a coincidence. It does sound like you're noticing that your cats are drinking more water and, as a result, producing more urine.
The increased ammonia smell would only come from a high protein diet (which contains alot of nitrogen from the amino acids in protein). This nitrogen is converted into urea (that contains no iron) in the urine. When the urine enters the litter box, bacteria covert the urea into ammonia.
Does anyone know of a place where lead in drinking water affected the people that lived in the area? I need to writer a report and can not find a good example of this, or at least not anything that is interesting. I would like to write about a good example of this :)
I am also having a problem finding the Maximum Acceptable Concentration of lead in the water system. The book I have does not compare this. Does anyone know what it is or where I can find it?
Thanks :)
at the library.
I've always wondered if you could drink these waters like Vaporesse? After all they should be pretty much like water, and there are no sign on the bottle saying it's not drinkable!
Yeah you can totally drink it. it doesn't taste any different and it's hella expensive so i wouldn't recomend making a habit of it, but it's completely safe! The only difference is that it's distilled so that there's less chance of it cloging up your iron.
If it is one that has fragrances though, it might be different so I wouldn't try that
PS- So glad to know I'm not the only one who is curious!
We are on a well for our water supply, and it is good with the exception of too much iron. We have a water softener which removes most of the excess iron, but are about to install an irrigation system for the yard and plants. We want to remove much, if not most, of the iron before it goes into the sprinklers to reduce rusty stains, clogging of the nozzles, etc, and to reduce the load on the existing water softener.
I remember seeing, 15 years ago, someone who used an external wound-fiber core type of filter, from what I remember of it. Is that still the best, where are they available, what is better, etc?
Suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

There are INLINE filters sold for this purpose, and very effective. They offer washout/clean ability and/or filter substance replacement.
Contact the pump manufacturer or a company that specifically does installations and maintenance of pumps, or a quality plumbing company
I had one installed on a well in December, and have cleaner water now. It needs monitoring, and may not ever be all you expect, but I use it (water) with no adverse effects. The one I installed is no larger than a good size thermos.

It’s been 200 days since President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency says it has allocated 92 percent of the $7.22 billion Recovery Act dollars it is charge of allocating. And much of that money will be used for projects to improve water quality, wastewater infrastructure and drinking water infrastructure.
Specifically, $4 billion is going for assistance to help communities with water quality and wastewater infrastructure needs and $2 billion for drinking water infrastructure needs. A portion of the funding will be targeted toward green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency, and environmentally innovative projects.
On Thursday, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson ticked off a short lift of water-related projects that promise to create jobs, including a harbor cleanup in New Bedford, Mass. (270 jobs) and a Superfund cleanup project (more than 200 jobs) in at the Iron Mountain Mine in Redding, Calif., which used to discharge one ton of toxic materials into the Sacramento River every day. Once completed, the local hydroelectric power plant will use the restored waters to produce energy.
