Air Injection Water Treatment
Air injection boosts oxidation of iron, hydrogen sulfide and manganese in water without the use of chemicals. Air injection systems are designed for residential water wells, and commercial-use sizes are also available. Does this Spark an idea?

Health Benefits
-
Air injection systems are environmentally friendly and provide health benefits. Eliminating the use of chlorine in the water also eliminates the byproducts of the chlorination process. By using an air injector system for water treatment, you are no longer drinking or inhaling salt, chlorine and other chemicals, according to premium-water-filters.com.
Other Benefits
-
Water treatment systems that use air injection can eliminate common water problems, such as iron taste, rotten egg smell, rust stains and pipe corrosion. Air injection systems solve budgeting concerns as they are less expensive to install, operate and maintain than multiple filter systems, says flintandwalling.com.

Potential Problems
-
Air injection systems use oxygen to oxidize iron in the water, which is then kept from entering the plumbing by a filter. Some areas of high iron content in the water might require extra equipment, such as retention tanks, devices that mix air and air release valves. Very cold well water can slow the oxidizing of iron. Low pH and iron that is organically bound can also be potential problems for air injection systems, reports agric.gov.ab.ca.
