Dual-Tank Well Water System, explained
Dissolved iron and sulfur are invisible until they meet air. Katalox Light oxidizes them inside the tank, so the particles are trapped in the media bed instead of your fixtures, and the bed backwashes itself on a schedule.
The softening tank then removes hardness before the water reaches the house. Pair it with UV if your well has also tested positive for bacteria.
