If your Winona water leaves rust stains on your sinks, fixtures, or appliances, or carries a metallic taste and sulfur odor, the problem is likely iron and hydrogen sulfide in your water supply. 
The Aquasential® Smart High Efficiency Iron-Cleer® Whole House Water Filter from Countryside Culligan Water eliminates both, chemical-free, at every tap in your home.
Countryside Culligan Water has served Winona since 1936 with 4.9 stars across 300 reviews. Our local technicians install and service every system we sell.
What the Iron-Cleer® Removes
The Aquasential® Smart HE Iron-Cleer® is certified to reduce:
- Iron (clear water): Up to 10 ppm
- Hydrogen sulfide: Up to 5.0 ppm
No chemicals. No salt. Just aeration, oxidation, and catalytic filtration working together to deliver clean, odor-free water throughout your entire home.
Why Winona Homes Need Iron Filtration
Well water and some municipal supplies in Winona carry dissolved iron that is invisible until it hits air, then it oxidizes and leaves red-brown staining on everything it touches, including sinks, tubs, dishwashers, laundry, and water-using appliances. Hydrogen sulfide adds the rotten egg odor that makes tap water unpleasant to use. Both problems are common and both are solved at the point of entry so every faucet, every shower, and every appliance in your home gets filtered water.
How It Works
Two-Tank System
The Iron-Cleer® uses a two-tank design with a filament-wound exterior and non-permeable inner shell. The first stage aerates and oxidizes dissolved iron and hydrogen sulfide. The second stage filters the oxidized particles out through catalytic media, no chemicals required.
Soft-Minder® Meter
Advanced diagnostics and daily water use monitoring so your system is always performing at spec. If something changes, you know before it becomes a problem.
Culligan Connect® App
Monitor and control your system from anywhere. Check usage, receive alerts, adjust settings, and even bypass the filter remotely when needed. The app keeps your Countryside Culligan Water team connected to your system too, for faster service when you need it.
External Leak Sensor (Optional)
An optional add-on that monitors for nearby appliance leaks and sends alerts directly to your phone, adding a layer of whole-home protection beyond water quality.

Professional Installation by Countryside Culligan Water of Winona
Every Iron-Cleer® system is installed by a certified Countryside Culligan Water technician. Installation connects to your main water line so every tap in the home receives filtered water. A bypass valve is included so you can isolate the system for service without interrupting your water supply. Typical installation requires access to main water piping, a nearby drain, and an electrical outlet, usually in a basement, laundry room, or garage.
Countryside Culligan Water has served Winona since 1936. Our technicians know local water conditions, stock parts locally, and are available for ongoing service, not a 1-800 number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Iron-Cleer® a whole-house system?
Yes. It connects to your main water line so every faucet, shower, appliance, and water-using fixture in your home receives filtered water.
Does it use chemicals?
No. The Iron-Cleer® uses aeration and catalytic filtration to oxidize and remove iron and hydrogen sulfide without any chemicals or salt.
How much iron does it remove?
The system is certified to reduce clear-water iron up to 10 ppm.
What about the sulfur smell in my water?
The Iron-Cleer® is also certified to reduce hydrogen sulfide up to 5.0 ppm, which is the compound responsible for rotten egg odor in water.
How is this different from a water softener?
A water softener reduces hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium). The Iron-Cleer® targets iron and hydrogen sulfide, which cause staining and odor. Many Winona homes benefit from both systems depending on their water profile. Countryside Culligan Water tests your water and recommends the right combination.
Will it damage my pipes or appliances?
The opposite. Iron staining is a sign that dissolved iron is already depositing on your fixtures and inside your appliances. Filtering iron at the point of entry protects everything downstream.
What is Soft-Minder® technology?
Soft-Minder® is a monitoring meter built into the system that tracks daily water usage and system diagnostics. It helps optimize performance and alerts you to changes before they affect your water quality.
What does the Culligan Connect® app do?
The app lets you monitor water usage, receive alerts, adjust settings, and bypass the system remotely. Countryside Culligan Water can also access your system data to diagnose issues and coordinate service more efficiently.

Why choose Countryside Culligan Water over a box-store iron filter?
Box-store filters are not sized or configured for your specific water chemistry. Countryside Culligan Water tests your Winona water, selects the right system and tank size for your iron and H₂S levels, and installs it professionally. The result is a system that actually works for your water, backed by local service from a team that has been here since 1936.
