Help! My water is brown!

Anything other than crystal clear water coming out of your taps can be alarming. You don't need to panic, sometimes there is a perfectly good reason (and solutions) to bringing your water back to normal.

Today we will take a look at what Iron and Manganese does to your tap water. 

Iron and Manganese are common elements from the earth. Dirt and rocks from natural ground water can dissolve and carry them into the ground water. Iron pipes can also leach into your tap water.

These two elements can be unsightly. They give off an unpleasant taste, odor and color. Iron in particular can cause stains on laundry, dishes, sinks, glassware, porcelain and concrete. Getting rid of these stains can be even trickier. Cleaning with chlorine bleach can even intensify the stains!

Aside from their looks, smell and taste, they gang up in your pipelines and are noted for reducing water pressure. This causes more energy to pump water through clogged pipes and can increase your energy bill.

Manganese and iron can also contaminate your water with their bacteria. And while it's not a health risk, it can leave brown slime in toilet tanks and clog your water system.

How can you treat your brown water issue? The most effective treatment is using a water filtration system that can remove these elements in your tap water.

We've all heard the term "dehydrated", but what does it really mean? Dehydration is losing more water than your taking in. When this happens, your body struggles to do the basic functions it needs to stay alive, like regulating your temperature and clearing out waste. Dehydration can happen by losing water through sweat and tears.
