Although iron in water is not a health concern, it can cause some annoying and embarrassing symptoms around your home. For example:
- Your water may come out of the faucet brown
- Even if your water is clear, iron in water may be present in a dissolved state and stain your fixtures and laundry as it dries and becomes exposed to air
- It can build-up inside and clog your plumbing
- Your water might taste metallic, along with all the food cooked in it
- Certain bacterias feed off of iron and will create a smelly slime in toilet tanks and other places that store water
