texas water iron levels
Texas is no stranger to water quality challenges, especially in rural and groundwater-reliant areas. Among the most common issues is elevated iron levels in water. While small amounts of iron are naturally occurring and even essential in our diets, excessive iron in drinking water can cause staining, metallic taste, plumbing damage, and even health concerns in vulnerable individuals.
If you’re dealing with Texas water iron levels that exceed acceptable limits or affect water quality, ADVANCEES offers advanced iron removal water treatment solutions to help restore safe, clean water across residential, agricultural, and industrial applications.


Understanding Iron in Texas Water

Iron contamination in Texas water typically originates from naturally iron-rich soil and rock formations. Groundwater wells, which are widely used throughout rural Texas, are particularly susceptible to high iron concentrations. In many cases, homeowners or facility managers will notice signs such as:
  • Orange or rust-colored staining in sinks and bathtubs
  • Metallic taste or odor in drinking water
  • Clogging in pipes, water heaters, and irrigation systems
  • Biofouling caused by iron bacteria
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) suggests that iron concentrations in excess of 0.3 mg/L can cause aesthetic and operational problems. In agricultural or industrial operations, iron-rich water can lead to equipment corrosion and impact crop health or product quality.


How ADVANCEES Solves Iron Contamination Problems

ADVANCEES designs and manufactures custom water filtration systems to effectively treat high iron levels in Texas water sources. Our systems are engineered for long-term performance and can be customized for small communities, commercial properties, or industrial-scale operations.


Advanced Iron Removal Technologies Include:

  • Oxidation + Filtration Systems
    Convert soluble ferrous iron into insoluble ferric iron using agents like chlorine or air injection, followed by filtration.
  • Catalytic Media Filters
    Use manganese dioxide or other media to accelerate iron oxidation and trap solids without chemical additives.
  • Ion Exchange Systems
    Replace iron ions with sodium or potassium ions—ideal for low to moderate iron levels in residential and commercial use.
  • Membrane Filtration (Ultrafiltration/RO)
    Provides a barrier to dissolved iron and other impurities while delivering highly purified water.
  • Biological Treatment
    Uses iron-oxidizing bacteria in eco-friendly systems suited for certain applications and climates.


Designed for Texas Conditions

What sets ADVANCEES apart is our understanding of regional water chemistry. Our systems are designed to adapt to the unique geological and environmental conditions in Texas, including pH imbalances, mineral-heavy water, and high iron concentrations in private wells and surface sources.

Whether you’re a homeowner in Hill Country, a grower in West Texas, or a facility manager near the Gulf Coast, we provide scalable systems that match your specific water treatment goals.


Full-Service Support and Compliance

In addition to engineering high-efficiency systems, ADVANCEES also offers:
