Iron Bacteria can be found in well water and other non-chlorinated water supplies. The bacteria eats the iron so it is not always possible to see it. Iron Bacteria found in well water usually has a habit of clumping in the corners of the storage tank on your commode. 

So take the lid off of the storage tank on the back of your toilet and look on the bottom- in the corners (if you can see through the water, if not then flush it to check it). If you have sediment and/or iron and/or dirt or whatever, and it is smooth (or settled) across the bottom, no matter how much there is, with nothing "clumping" in the corners, it is most likely NOT Iron Bacteria. However, if one or more of the corners have something that looks like it is clumping or "building up" at all (not uniform with the other sediment and such in the tank bottom), it is almost certain that you DO have iron bacteria and will require chlorination. Any time you see anything clumpy, or slimy, or apparently growing inside that toilet storage tank, you should probably chlorinate the water in our opinion. You can also run your finger along the inside wall of the tank UNDERNEATH the waterline. If it feels slimy or slippery that is a strong sign of bacteria or organics. If it is alive, consider making it dead.... Then filter as necessary.

Sometimes it is simple as putting a chlorine injector with a small 16 gallon mixing tank ($398) http://budgetwater.com/chem_feed_systems.htm in front of an iron filter (Terminox) http://budgetwater.com/iron_filters.htm Please feel free to call us at our toll-free number 800-701-9914 and a technician will help you decide what is right for you.

WARNING: When it comes to water treatment equipment you should NEVER do business with ANY company who does not have the same certifications as we do. It is just plain crazy. There are so many "Fly by night" companies out there that it should be the very FIRST rule in your decision making process. It is your first, and some times ONLY, line of defense. Just look at our home page to see our many appropriate certifications. You will find them all in the top third of the page.
