Iron Tamer

Dirty bore water problem?

If you’re dealing with dirty bore water, the ‘Iron Tamer’ filtration system from Aldgate Pump Sales & Service offers a solution that goes beyond just cleaning. This proven and successful method not only removes iron and sediment from groundwater but also maximises its benefits. By installing this system, you can enjoy cleaner, safer water for a variety of uses, including non-potable domestic use, irrigation, and industrial purposes. The ‘Iron Tamer’ is suitable for both domestic and commercial applications, ensuring that everyone can benefit from its efficient and reliable filtration capabilities.

Where does the iron come from?

Iron deposits are a natural occurrence in systems that draw water from the ground. Iron deposits can result in reduced water flow, increased pump wear, increased power usage, block pipes, taps and other fixtures, can cause offensive odors, and cause the water to leave red/brown stains.

How does it work?

The Iron Tamer requires the water be pumped into a holding tank. The Iron Tamer system is designed to complete the oxidation process in the holding tank and collects the particles in a media filter for later disposal leaving the water clear and low in iron.

How much does it cost?

Systems vary in price depending on the size of your holding tank and the water quality. We will quote a system to suit your specific requirements.

What are my ongoing costs?

There are no recurring costs with the Iron Tamer system.  General pump and filter maintenance will be required.

What people are saying…

“We have had the Iron tamer installed for 8 years and it’s still running strong. It continues to supply clean clear water to my home. It saves me time! I don’t need to clean my toilets and sprinkler heads every few weeks.”

Is the water safe to drink?

No. Other factors other than Iron will determine if your water is safe to drink. The Iron Tamer is only designed to make the water clear and reduce iron levels. A laboratory test will be required to find out what filtration measures are required to make your water potable.

System Requirements

• A free onsite inspection of the bore system is generally beneficial.
• A water sample will be required to ensure the correct system is installed.
• As the Iron Tamer requires a holding tank, we can use an existing tank, or quote on a new tank and installation.
