The Problem
Iron and mineral buildup on fixtures — a common well water problem in Ohio homes

Ohio Well Water Has Invisible Problems — That Aren't So Invisible

Iron stains fixtures orange. Manganese leaves dark deposits. Hydrogen sulfide makes your water smell like rotten eggs. These aren't just nuisances — they're signs your well water needs attention.

Orange and Rust-Colored Staining Iron in your well water leaves behind red and orange stains in tubs, toilets, sinks, and anywhere water contacts a surface — stubborn stains that cleaning products can't fully remove.
Rotten Egg Smell Throughout Your Home Hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in well water produces a distinct sulfur odor that makes showers, cooking, and laundry noticeably unpleasant — and can permeate your whole home.
Dark Deposits on Fixtures and Appliances Manganese creates black or dark brownish deposits on faucets, dishwasher interiors, and laundry. Over time it builds up inside pipes and water-using appliances.
Laundry That Comes Out Stained or Dingy Washing clothes in iron-heavy water oxidizes during the heat cycle, leaving rust-tinted stains on whites and lighter fabrics — damage that's often permanent.
Ohio Well Water — What's In It

Three Contaminants. One System.

Ohio's geology contributes naturally occurring iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide to many private wells — especially in rural and semi-rural areas. Each one causes distinct, visible problems in your home.

Iron (Fe) Rust stains & metallic taste
Manganese (Mn) Dark deposits & discoloration
Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) Rotten egg odor

Your exact levels are measured during the free well water test. Results vary by well depth, location, and season.

How It Works

A Two-Stage Process That Actually Removes the Problem

The EC5 OxyTech does not just mask odors or add chemicals to your water. It uses a science-backed two-stage process — compressed aeration followed by multimedia filtration — to oxidize and physically trap the contaminants before they reach your taps.

01

Compressed Aeration

Well water enters the EC5 OxyTech's compressed aeration chamber and becomes highly oxygenated. As the water flows through, iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide react with the oxygen and become oxidized — separating the minerals from the water and bonding them to oxygen molecules.

02

Multimedia Filter Bed

The now-oxygenated water flows through a special blend of four filter media — each chosen for specific removal characteristics and long media life. Iron, manganese, and elemental sulfur are trapped in the multimedia bed and held there until the system regenerates.

03

Automatic Regeneration

The system automatically backwashes and regenerates on a schedule to flush trapped contaminants out of the filter bed — keeping media clean and effective without any action on your part. Power outage recovery is built in: if power is lost mid-cycle, the system picks up where it left off once restored.

Key Benefits

What Changes When Your Well Water Is Actually Clean

The EC5 OxyTech's impact shows up immediately — in your sinks, your shower, your laundry, and the way your water tastes and smells.

No More Rotten Egg Smell

Hydrogen sulfide is oxidized and trapped before it reaches your taps. Showers, cooking, and laundry all benefit from water that smells clean and neutral.

Stain-Free Fixtures

Without iron in the water, the orange and rust-colored staining in your tubs, toilets, and sinks stops — and existing stains become much easier to clean and maintain.

Cleaner Laundry

Clothes wash in iron-free water — no more rust-tinted stains on whites and light fabrics. Your laundry comes out looking the way it should.

Appliances Run Better

Iron and manganese deposits inside dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines are eliminated — protecting your appliances and reducing maintenance over time.

Contaminant Reduction

Lab Tested to Reduce Three Key Well Water Contaminants

The EC5 OxyTech is not a filter that captures debris — it is an oxidation and filtration system specifically engineered for the contaminants most common in Ohio well water.

Iron (Fe)

The primary cause of orange and rust-colored staining on fixtures, laundry, and appliances. The EC5 OxyTech oxidizes dissolved iron and traps it in the multimedia filter bed before it reaches your water supply.

Manganese (Mn)

Responsible for dark black or brownish deposits on faucets and inside appliances. Manganese is oxidized alongside iron during the aeration stage and captured in the filter media.

Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)

The source of the rotten egg odor in well water. Hydrogen sulfide is oxidized in the aeration chamber, converting to elemental sulfur which is then captured in the multimedia filter bed.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know About the EC5 OxyTech

The EC5 OxyTech is lab tested to reduce iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide — the three most common well water contaminants in Ohio. Iron causes rust-colored staining in tubs, sinks, and toilets. Manganese causes darker black or brownish deposits. Hydrogen sulfide is responsible for the rotten egg odor many well water homeowners notice. The system addresses all three through its two-stage aeration and filtration process.
A water softener uses ion exchange resin to remove calcium and magnesium — the minerals that cause hardness. The EC5 OxyTech uses compressed aeration and a multimedia filter to oxidize and trap iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide. Many well water homes benefit from both systems working together: the OxyTech handles iron and odor, while a softener handles hardness. Our technician measures your water and recommends the right combination for your specific well.
That is typically the first thing homeowners notice — and it is one of the most satisfying results. The rotten egg odor caused by hydrogen sulfide is largely eliminated once the system is in place. Water also tastes noticeably cleaner, and the metallic taste often associated with iron-heavy well water disappears. Most homeowners notice the difference within the first day.
The EC5 OxyTech automatically backwashes and regenerates on a schedule to flush trapped iron, manganese, and sulfur out of the multimedia filter bed. This cycle happens without any action on your part — typically in the early morning hours. If power is lost mid-cycle, the system picks up where it left off once power is restored, so regeneration cycles are never missed.
