My wife is opposed to using a chlorination system or having any chlorine in the water, and a neighbor suggested hydrogen peroxide. Can you tell me how I can use peroxide to solve my stinky water problem?

Dear Bill,
For problem well water containing “rotten-egg” sulfur odor “H2S” (hydrogen sulfide gas) and coliform bacteria, hydrogen peroxide systems are an excellent choice. Hydrogen peroxide (“H2O2”) is a powerful oxidizing agent, much more powerful than aeration, chlorine or potassium permanganate. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into oxygen and water leaving no trace of chemical residues.
In this application the metering pump would be wired to come on with the well, and then whenever energized a dilution of peroxide would be injected to oxidize odors for filtration by Centaur Carbon filter. After the carbon filter, a sediment backwash filter is recommended to filter the water and remove sediment and turbidity.
The high purity natural mined Zeolite ChemSorb media filters and removes sediment down to 5 microns. Unlike filter cartridges that quickly become clogged and require frequent changes, the Backwash Sediment Filter automatically backwashes the sediment restoring water pressure. The media is easily changed and lasts for about 5 years.
