Expert Iron In Water for Twin Cities Homeowners

Iron in Water

The first job of your water supply is drinking water for your family. Too much iron gives it a metallic taste, and it stains fixtures and laundry on the way through.

Iron is common in Minnesota groundwater and treatable, but the right treatment depends on how much you have and what form it is in. That is what the test tells us.

Call (763) 296-1844 and get your water tested.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my water taste metallic? +
Dissolved iron. It is common in Minnesota groundwater, and it carries into drinking water, coffee and cooking before you ever notice the staining.
What causes the orange staining? +
Iron oxidising once it meets air, which is why the marks appear in sinks, tubs and toilet bowls and come back after cleaning.
Is iron in water a health risk? +
At the levels typically found here it is treated as an aesthetic problem rather than a health one. It is the taste, the staining and the buildup in plumbing that make people act.
Will a water softener remove iron? +
It can handle some, at low levels and in the right form. Higher levels, or iron that has already oxidised, need filtration aimed at iron specifically. The test tells us which you have.
What is the slimy buildup in my fixtures? +
Usually iron bacteria, which is a different problem from dissolved iron and needs a different treatment. Worth identifying properly before buying equipment.
