Our water causes red stains on laundry and fixtures and everyone I talk with gives me a different solution to the problem?
• There are several options for dealing with “red water”. Selection is based on the type and amount of iron in the water. • Start with a water test to determine if you have mineral iron, iron bacteria, or both. • Low levels (5 mg/L or less) of mineral iron can often be handled with a softener. • At higher levels of mineral iron, equipment manufacturers often recommend an oxidizing filter (often called an “iron filter”) followed by a softener.
