Tannin Removal
Clear water, not tea.
Tannin Removal from Rare Find: Tea-colored water from decaying vegetation, treated with specialty anion resin. Tannins come from decaying organic matter and turn water yellow or tea-colored, especially in wells near wetlands. A dedicated tannin system uses anion exchange resin regenerated with salt, separate from your softener.
