Water with High Iron

Does your water look rusty or brown straight from the tap?

Do reddish brown particles settle to the bottom of your glass, your pot?

Do reddish brown stains occur in your shower, bathtub, toilets and laundry?

You probably have high levels of iron in your water. Besides leaving ugly stains on fixtures and your laundry, it can also add a metallic task to your water. And sometimes promote the growth of iron-reducing bacteria. That is troublesome.

What to do

If you suspect you have high iron content, get your water tested. (We are happy to recommend impartial and eminently qualified water testers for you. Just ask. We’ll help you interpret and understand the results. Free.)

The fix will depend on how high your iron content is, and what type of iron it is. It also depends on if there are also elevated levels of manganese, hydrogen sulfide, or arsenic.
