What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is an Iron and Sulfur Filter System?
An iron and sulfur filter system is a whole-house treatment setup designed to help:
Reduce dissolved or particulate iron, which can cause stains and metallic taste
Reduce hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), the rotten egg odor that can show up in hot or cold water
Improve the look, smell, and taste of water at every fixture
Depending on your water chemistry, these systems may use:
Specialty media for iron reduction
Oxidation/filtration combinations for iron and sulfur
Backwashing filter tanks, sometimes combined with other stages
They’re typically installed before the home’s distribution, so all interior plumbing benefits.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Plumbing + treatment experience: We design systems around your actual plumbing, flow, and usage.

Honest guidance: We can combine disinfectant removal, softening, and sediment filtration based on your goals and budget.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Look for orange/brown stains in toilets, tubs, and around drains.
Note any rotten egg or metallic smell, especially when running hot water.

Avoid using harsh cleaners that can eat into fixtures and finishes.
If staining is heavy, take photos of affected fixtures for reference.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about iron and sulfur filter system installation; let us know if you’re on a well or outer-area water service and what you’re noticing.
Common Situations Where Iron & Sulfur Filters Make Sense
You’re on a well or outer-area source, and see orange/brown staining on fixtures, clothing, or dishes.
Water has a rotten egg smell, especially when running hot water or first turning on taps.
You’re constantly scrubbing stains out of toilets, tubs, and sinks.
Your water has a metallic taste that doesn’t go away with simple point-of-use filters.
You want to protect new fixtures, appliances, and surfaces from ongoing discoloration.
Water Supply & Plumbing Evaluation
We confirm your water source (well, fringe supply, etc.), review any available test results, and inspect where your main line, pressure tank (if present), and water heater are located.
System Design & Media Selection
Based on your water characteristics and goals, we recommend an appropriate iron/sulfur filtration setup—often a specialty media tank system, sometimes paired with sediment pre-filtration and other stages.
Plumbing Tie-In & Bypass Setup
We shut off the water, tie into the main cold-water line, and install a bypass/isolation assembly, so the system can be serviced or bypassed without cutting water to the whole home.
Filter Tank / Equipment Installation
We install the filter tank(s), valves, and any control head, make secure inlet and outlet connections, and add drain lines for backwashing systems where needed, following code and manufacturer guidelines.
Startup, Flushing & Control Programming
We flush new media, program the control head/backwash cycles for your water and flow needs, and verify flow, pressure, and leak-free operation.
Homeowner Walkthrough & Maintenance Plan
We explain what the system targets, how to bypass it, what maintenance or media service will be needed over time, and how to coordinate future water testing or adjustments if conditions change.
What’s Included
Pricing and timing depend on:
System size and complexity: Simple iron-focused filters vs multi-stage iron + sulfur setups.
Water conditions: Heavier iron/sulfur issues may need larger or more advanced systems.
Location and access: Open mechanical area vs tight or difficult spaces.
Integration with other treatment: Whether this is standalone or combined with softeners, conditioners, or additional filtration.
We’ll provide a clear, written estimate before work begins and outline what’s included, what’s optional, and expected installation timing.

Insurance & Claims Help
Iron and sulfur filter systems are typically planned improvements, not covered directly by insurance. However, well and treatment equipment can sometimes be involved in leaks or failures.
If there’s ever a problem, we can:
Identify and document which plumbing component or connection failed.
Provide itemized invoices and estimates for any repairs, replacements, or upgrades you authorize.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if a claim is opened.
Coverage decisions are always made by your insurance company based on your policy; we provide the plumbing facts.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Iron and sulfur filters are powerful, but:
They are designed around specific water test results—changes in water chemistry may require adjustments or different media.
They don’t soften water; if hardness is also an issue, you may still want a softener or conditioner.
Media must be serviced or replaced periodically; neglect leads to reduced performance.
In very severe cases, one system may not solve everything at once—staged treatment may be required.
We’ll be clear about what your system is built to address, and when extra testing or additional equipment might be appropriate.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant plumbing: All connections and drains installed per Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer instructions.
Appropriate media & controls: Systems selected for iron/sulfur issues, not generic “one-size” filters.
Serviceable layout: Installed with access for media changes, control adjustments, and future service.
Straightforward explanations: We explain in simple terms what we installed, how it works, and how to care for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a water test first?
For well and outer-area supplies, yes—water testing is strongly recommended so the system can be properly designed. If you don’t have recent results, we’ll discuss options.
Will this remove all discoloration and odor?
In many cases, it significantly reduces or eliminates iron staining and sulfur odor. The exact result depends on water chemistry and system design; we’ll set realistic expectations.
Does this system soften water too?
No. It focuses on iron and sulfur. If you also have hard water, we can design a combined treatment approach.
Will I lose water pressure?
Properly sized systems are designed to maintain comfortable pressure. Undersized or clogged systems can affect flow—which is why correct sizing and maintenance matter.
How much maintenance is involved?
You’ll need periodic media service or replacement and basic system checks. We’ll explain the recommended schedule and can help with ongoing service.
Do you offer iron and sulfur filter installation near me in the Las Vegas area?
