Iron-rich water is one of the most common problems we help solve for residents of various cities in Lithuania.

Iron-rich water can be identified by the following indicators:

• Water has a metallic taste.
• Water develops a rusty color after sitting for a while.
• Laundry or fabrics show a rusty or yellowish tint after washing.
• Brown stains appear on bathtubs, sinks, or toilets.
• Brown water runs out initially when taps are turned on after a period of non-use.
• Reduced water pressure due to sediment accumulation.

While small amounts of iron in water do not significantly impact health (as our bodies require some iron), elevated concentrations (above 0.2 mg/l) can pose risks to health. Consuming water with high iron content increases the risk of various diseases and illnesses over time. Therefore, addressing iron issues in water is crucial to ensure safe drinking water.
