Iron Staining

Understanding Iron Staining

Iron in your water is like having tiny rust particles flowing through your pipes. When exposed to air, these particles oxidize – creating those familiar reddish-brown stains on fixtures, clothing, and appliances.

Types of Iron:

  • Ferrous (Clear-Water): Dissolved iron, invisible until exposed to air
  • Ferric (Red-Water): Oxidized iron, visible as particles
  • Bacterial Iron: Created by iron-feeding bacteria

Impact on Your Home

Iron staining doesn’t just affect appearances – it can damage your appliances, increase your cleaning costs, and even affect your health through iron bacteria growth.
