If you have a high iron content in your water at home, you most likely have some sort of treatment or filtration system.  While you rightly want to address this issue, don’t forget how it affects your septic system.  These filtration systems discharge into the septic tank and suppress the good bacteria your system needs, as well as causing poor separation of the solids in the tank.  This means more frequent pumping is a requirement to keep any major issues at bay.  Using a monthly bacteria additive for the septic system is also a necessity!  Give us a call if you have one of these filtration systems and would like to know how to protect your septic system.
