The Truth About Ham Lake Well Water
Ham Lake well water often has iron, manganese, sulfur, and hardness. With the right system and maintenance, Bethel Plumbing keeps your water clean and clear.
(And How to Fix It for Good)
-
Our local water table is naturally rich in minerals like iron, manganese, and sulfur. While they aren’t dangerous in small amounts, they wreak havoc on your plumbing, appliances, and even your skin and hair.
Iron = Rust Stains. That orange tint? It’s iron.
Sulfur = Rotten Egg Odor. Not harmful, but sure smells bad.
Manganese = Black Slime. Yep, it’s gross and clogs filters fast.
Hardness = Soap Scum & Scale. Your water heater is taking a beating every day.
-
Here’s the truth: A big-box water softener isn’t going to solve this. Ham Lake well water needs proper testing and sizing.
