Iron & Manganese Removal
Stop the stains where they start.
Iron & Manganese Removal from Rare Find: Orange and black staining, metallic taste and fouled fixtures, mostly on wells. Iron and manganese leave orange, brown or black stains and can foul softener resin. Removal usually means oxidizing them so they can be filtered out, using air, chemical or catalytic media depending on levels and water chemistry.
Signs it may be worth a look
- Orange or brown toilet and sink stains
- Black specks or staining
- Metallic taste
- Softener resin fouling
How it works with us
- 1
Measure levels
Iron, manganese, pH and hydrogen sulfide all affect the right approach.
- 2
Choose an oxidation method
Air injection, catalytic media or other oxidation options.
- 3
Install before softening
So downstream equipment stays protected.
Honest limits
- Approach depends on levels, pH and whether iron is dissolved or particulate.
- Some iron bacteria situations need additional treatment.
Questions about iron & manganese removal
Small amounts of dissolved iron, sometimes. Higher levels usually need a dedicated iron filter ahead of the softener.
Black staining often points to manganese. Testing confirms it.
