The Low Down: How Does It Work?
The Rid O'Rust Formula products are a family of "chelating" chemicals. Each is specific to certain well water conditions and applications; Formula 1000 is used for "acidic" well water and Formula 2000 for "hard" well water, for instance. These chelating chemicals have in common that if they can attach themselves to the ferrous iron in the well water before it meets oxygen at the sprinkler head, the iron will chelate or bind up so that it will not combine with oxygen. In effect, we neutralize the iron, but do not remove it!
