Strange.


Not iron bacteria. Clear Water (dissolved) Iron - a different problem.
There are a variety of water-softener-like systems to remove that -
small amounts can be removed with a normal water softener. Greater
amounts will plug one up. Large amounts can be removed by aerating (or
chlorinating, which also works for the bacteria, but in the case of CWI
is serving to oxidize) and settling/filtering.
