Iron Staining

Iron Staining

Orange/brown stains and metallic taste are classic iron issues—common on wells. We’ll design the right removal system for your test results.


Signs you’ll notice

  • Orange/brown stains in sinks, toilets, and showers
  • Metallic taste
  • Particles or discoloration in standing water

What’s causing it

  • Dissolved (ferrous) iron that oxidizes to visible (ferric) iron
  • Possible manganese and iron bacteria in well systems

How we fix it

  • Iron removal systems: oxidation + media tuned to iron/manganese levels.
  • Polish taste/odor: add carbon post‑filtration.
  • Pair with softening: softener handles hardness and protects fixtures.
