Water is one of the best solvents known to man. It
dissolves and picks up part of everything it
touches. As water filters through the earth and
rock strata, It absorbs minerals such as calcium,
magnesium, iron and hydrogen sulfide {rotten
egg odor), if the water is not treated and improved
in some way, it may be useless. Feeding solutions
into the water is a good way to treat the water.
Your Sears Solution Dispensing System treats the
following kinds of water problems. DO NOT USE
THE SYSTEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO PURIFY
POLLUTED WATER.
(1) IRON WATER -- MAX. 20 PPM
(2) HYDROGEN SULFIDE WATER — MAX, 20
PPM
(3) ACID WATER - 4.0 pH and ABOVE.
(4) ACID WATER AND IRON BACTERIA,
HYDROGEN SULFIDE, OR HIGH AMOUNTS
OF IRON — MAX. 20 PPM TOTAL and 4.0 pH.
The following briefly describes each of these
water problems.
(1) IRON WATER — One of the most common
elements in the earth’s crust, iron causes water
problems all over the world. It makes rust stains
on almost everything it touches, gives water a
(NOTE: BACTERIAL IRON and
metal taste and causes many other problems. The
2 main forms of iron are FERROUS and FERRIC
Ferrous or CLEAR WATER iron is the most
common type. Water with ferrous iron is clear
when taken from a faucet. After standing for 15 to
30 minutes, the water turns to a yellow or brown
color.
Ferric or RED WATER iron is rusty or brown as it’s
taken from the faucet. After standing for awhile
the iron will settle out.
BACTERIAL iron is another kind of ferric iron.
When this water is taken from a faucet and left
standing for several hours, it forms slimy, stringy,
mud-like clumps.
TREATING IRON WATER — Adding chlorine to
the water and then filtering it is a good way to
remove both the ferrous and ferric forms of iron.
Chlorine also kills iron bacteria. A Sears Solution
Dispensing System feeds household laundry
bleach into the water system ahead of the pressure
tank. The chlorine in the bleach oxidizes the iron.
Then a Sears Automatic Clarifier and a Sears
IRON BACTERIA are the same )
