Iron

Iron is another common mineral found in well water. Iron can cause the water to have a metallic taste, damage plumbing systems, leave rust stains in fixtures, and turn white laundry a dingy off-white color. Iron is natural occurring and is typically found in two forms ferrous or ferric. Ferrous iron is referred to as clear water iron. A good example of clear water iron is when you fill a glass of water and it is clear but once the water has set for a period of time an orange color will appear. Ferric iron is where the iron has already been oxidized and the water coming directly from the tap already has an orange or red color. Iron is one of the more troublesome minerals in well water but can be removed.
