Sulfur Removal Systems
Removing sulfur from your water is an important component in maintaining the integrity and safety of both residential and commercial plumbing systems. Water containing sulfur can lead to numerous problems, including the emission of a distinctive “rotten egg” smell, corrosion of metal pipes, and the proliferation of bacteria that thrive in sulfur-rich environments. Addressing these issues effectively requires an innovative, reliable water treatment solution.
Standard Water Systems has revolutionized the approach to sulfur removal with an AIO® system, which incorporates patented technology designed to handle the unique challenges associated with sulfur in water. Traditional systems often deal with the air pocket in the tank by releasing it abruptly during the regeneration cycle. This not only creates loud noises but can also lead to potential damage to the plumbing due to the violent discharge of air. In contrast, the AIO® system employs a gentle release mechanism that mitigates these risks significantly.
Innovative Features of the AIO® System:
- Patented Control Flow Technology: This feature allows for a controlled, gentle release of the air pocket during the regeneration process. By moderating the air release, the system minimizes noise and reduces the stress on plumbing fixtures, thereby extending their lifespan.
- Adaptive Regeneration Schedule: The AIO® system smartly postpones the regeneration process if water is being used within the building. This ensures that the water supply is not interrupted, and the regeneration only occurs when the water flow stops, allowing for a more efficient operation.
- High-Quality Components: Our system includes a robust structural mineral tank and a bypass valve, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. These components are essential for maintaining your sulfur removal system over the course of its lifespan.
- Customizable Options: To meet the diverse needs of different settings, the system offers various enhancements, such as Ozone Generation for additional water sanitation and an optional chrome tank jacket for improved aesthetics and extra protection.
The AIO® system not only improves the quality of water but also enhances user convenience through its innovative features.

What Is Hydrogen Peroxide Water Treatment?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a naturally occurring chemical compound composed of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms that can be found in rainwater and some natural springs. It can also be produced synthetically and used for several purposes, including disinfecting surfaces and eliminating odors in well water.
Hydrogen peroxide water treatment injects peroxide in precise levels into the water pipes as the water flows from your well. Hydrogen peroxide systems can be installed at the wellhead or, if a proportional flow-sensor type peroxide system is used, on the incoming water pipes to your home.
After the peroxide is injected, the water flows through a catalytic carbon backwash filter system to remove all hydrogen sulfide gas and any remaining peroxide residual along with sediment and oxidized particles.
Note that peroxide is not considered a suitable treatment for drinking water disinfection. If your water contains coliform bacteria, we recommend an ultraviolet sterilizer and a nano-ceramic bacteria filter as the final stage.
Hydrogen Peroxide Well Water Systems Eliminate odors with hydrogen peroxide! Hydrogen Peroxide adds oxygen to kill odors. No chlorine or chemical residues. Now you can eliminate sulfur and rotten-egg odors and enjoy clean fresh smelling water throughout your home.
Hydrogen Peroxide Water Treatment System
If you’ve noticed an unpleasant odor from your well water, you might think chlorine is the solution. But before you go down this route, take a moment to consider hydrogen peroxide as an alternative.
Water containing hydrogen sulfide gas (“H2S”) has a unique “rotten egg” odor, which is often present in both hot and cold but may become more pronounced from the hot water. This kind of water can discolor coffee, tea, and other beverages and alter the appearance and taste of cooked food. Hydrogen peroxide is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to eliminate this odor in your well water.
Let’s explore the four main reasons hydrogen peroxide is better than chlorine and how it works. Hydrogen peroxide systems are often better than chlorine at eliminating rotten-egg odor in well water, as it works faster than chlorine.
When injected into water, hydrogen peroxide releases a large amount of dissolved oxygen which has a strong oxidizing effect, destroying odors and oxidizing iron and other contaminants.
Hydrogen peroxide does not add chemical by-products into your drinking water, only oxygen, and water.
Water treated with peroxide can be filtered with activated catalytic carbon, which lasts much longer than carbon used for removing chlorine. By releasing oxygen atoms into the environment, hydrogen peroxide reacts to the hydrogen sulfide gas molecules, breaking them up into water and small amounts of sulfur dioxide.
Remember that hydrogen peroxide is a much safer method for eliminating hydrogen sulfide gas (which causes rotten-egg odors) than some chlorine bleach since it does not contain harmful chemicals that could damage your family’s health or the environment.
Why is Catalytic Activated Carbon Often Used After Hydrogen Peroxide Injection System?
Catalytic Carbon Backwash Filters are ideal for use with hydrogen peroxide treatment systems.
Catalytic carbon media is processed to enhance carbon’s natural ability to change contaminants chemically. A catalytic reaction occurs on the carbon’s surface and increases the peroxide’s ability to oxidize contaminants.
When hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with catalytic carbon media, the carbon acts as a catalyst to accelerate the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
This is because activated carbon has a large surface area, allowing it to come into contact with more hydrogen peroxide molecules. Additionally, our activated catalytic carbon pores are the perfect size for decomposing hydrogen peroxide molecules.
Granular Catalytic Activated Coconut Shell Carbon is manufactured from high grades of coconut shells. It was designed to reduce Chloramines, Hydrogen Sulfides, Hydrogen Peroxides, THMs, TCE, PCE, detergents, pesticides, Phenols, taste, and odor and it works great with peroxide.
Is Water Treated with Hydrogen Peroxide Safe To Drink?
Yes. Drinking Water treated with hydrogen peroxide is generally considered safe to drink. The process is known as the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). A small precise dose of peroxide is automatically injected into the water which then breaks down into oxygen and water. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes rapidly unlike chlorine gas or bleach. The final optional stage of catalytic carbon removes any remaining peroxide residual if present.
What type of peroxide should I use?
We recommend using Certified Hydrogen Peroxide at 7% For most applications, the 7% is further diluted (easy instructions in the guide) Our 7% peroxide stores for up to 8 to 12 months in a cool dark dry location.
How much peroxide will I use each month?
Most of our customers use about one to two gallons of 7% peroxide per month You might use less or more depending on the amount of water you use and how much peroxide is injected. The peroxide system is easily adjustable (instructions and support included) For example, if you had it set to inject 10 parts per million of peroxide, one gallon would treat 7,000 gallons of water.
