Clear Iron & Manganese From Your Well Water
Greensand filtration that stops the rust and black staining dissolved iron and manganese leave behind.
Why this matters
Dissolved iron and manganese are the most common well-water complaints. They stain sinks, tubs, and laundry a rusty orange or brownish-black, build up inside pipes and water heaters, clog fixtures, and give water a metallic taste. Left untreated they shorten the life of every appliance the water touches. Greensand media oxidizes and captures them at the main line.
Signs you might have this problem
- Orange, red, or brown-black staining on sinks, toilets, and tubs
- Rust-colored spots on laundry, even after washing
- A metallic or penny taste
- Low pressure or clogging at aerators and shower heads over time

Your recommendation
360 Greensand Plus Filter
Dissolved iron and manganese are what stain your sinks, tubs, and laundry rust-orange and black. A greensand-plus iron filter oxidizes and captures them at the main line, so the staining and metallic taste stop before the water reaches any tap.
Our recommendation
360 Greensand Plus Filter
Based on your well water and the iron and manganese staining you are dealing with, this is the system we recommend for your home.
Why we recommend it
- Removes the dissolved iron and manganese behind rust and black staining
- Higher-capacity greensand-plus media for heavy iron loads
- Automatic backwash keeps the media active with no cartridges to change
- Treats every faucet, shower, and appliance in the home
- Sized from a water test to match your iron level and household demand
Complete your water system
For a well with lighter, moderate iron, the standard Greensand Filter is a right-sized alternative to the higher-capacity greensand-plus system. A water test confirms which capacity your iron level actually calls for.
Installation & maintenance
Installs at the main line after the pressure tank, with a drain for the backwash cycle. The greensand bed backwashes automatically to stay active and regenerates on schedule. A water test sets the right size, media, and cycle. Professional installation available in Austin and surrounding areas.
Frequently asked questions
Does greensand remove manganese as well as iron?
Yes. Greensand and greensand-plus media oxidize and capture both dissolved iron and manganese, the two minerals behind rust and black staining.
Will a softener remove my iron?
A softener handles small amounts of dissolved iron, but staining-level iron needs a dedicated iron filter ahead of the softener.
Why do I need a water test first?
Iron type, concentration, and pH change which media and size actually work. The test prevents an under-sized system that keeps staining, and it tells us whether you need pH correction first.
Not sure what you have?
Do not guess. A water test tells us what is actually in your water and helps us confirm the right system for your home.
