It’s common knowledge that you must always buy a water purifier specialising in tackling water concerns specific to where you live. Every water purifying technology is different, and it is designed to combat various water concerns, such as microbial contamination, dissolved solids, and metal contamination.
Does your water have a metallic taste or smell? You are not the only one dealing with this issue. Many households in India deal with high iron content in their drinking water. A high iron content is not only harmful for your health but it can also ruin your appliances, stain your laundry, ruin the taste of your favourite dishes, etc.
The good news is that the right kind of water purifier can get rid of the excess iron content in your drinking water and make it safe for consumption. Read along as we share the secret to choose the best water purifier for areas with high iron content. We will also discuss why A.O. Smith RO water purifiers are your best pick in 2025 to enjoy an endless supply of refreshing and healthy drinking water.
How to Choose a Water Purifier to Tackle High Iron Content in Your Water?
- Understand Your Water Quality
Invest in a water test kit for your home and try to understand your water quality. By doing a simple test at home, you can understand the level of iron and the type of iron present in your water. The three main types of iron that are often found in your tap water are:
- Ferrous Iron (Fe2+): This type of iron is invisible to your naked eyes, as this type of iron is soluble in water. The only way you can see this iron is through the process of oxidation.
- Ferric Iron (Fe3+): This is an insoluble type of iron. Hence, it is visible to the naked eyes. You can see it as rust particles in your water. It often gives your water a reddish-brown hue.
- Iron Bacteria: This is a type of iron contamination in water where certain types of bacteria feed off dissolved iron in the water and leave behind a reddish-brown slime.
- Choose the Right Purification Technology
Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purifiers happen to be your best bet when dealing with water that has a high level of iron. This is because these water purifiers have a semi-permeable membrane that is capable of filtering out a significant percentage of iron from your water. We recommend you choose an RO water purifier that offers a multi-stage water purification process where the RO technology is combined with other new-age technologies that further enhance the quality of your drinking water.
For example, you can consider investing in A.O. Smith’s ProPlanet RO water purifier series. The water purifiers in this series flaunt a path breaking RO+Silver Charged Membrane Technology. You get 100% RO purified water that has gone through a rigorous 8-step purification process at a mere press of a button.
Worried that these water purifiers will take away the essential minerals in your drinking water? Fret not; that is not the case. These water purifiers are designed to only get rid of the excess mineral content in your water and retain the minerals in the right amount and maintain the pH of your drinking water, all thanks to its MIN-TECH (Mineralizer Technology).
- Consider the Water Flow Rate
Pay attention to your household’s water requirement so that you can choose the right capacity for your water purifier. If you want a faster flow rate, we recommend you check out A.O. Smith’s under-sink water purifiers. They are discreet, chic and boast a high flow rate, meaning you no longer have to wait to fill your bottles.
