Increased manganese levels are one of the main indicators that degrade the quality and appearance of drinking water.

About Manganese in Water
How to Recognize the Problem?
Signs of increased manganese concentrations in water include:
- Altered taste of water (a bitter, metallic taste);
- Water that has been standing for a while acquires a dark black tint;
- Blackening of pipes, sinks, and other plumbing equipment;
- Water often begins to emit an unpleasant odor.
Why Can This Problem Be Dangerous?
It is important to mention that small amounts of manganese are necessary for ensuring the normal functioning of the human body. However, when the manganese concentration in water exceeds the permissible limit (0.05 mg/l), various diseases and health issues may develop over time.
Manganese-oxidizing bacteria often start to thrive in pipelines with high manganese content. These bacteria convert dissolved (invisible) manganese into black manganese oxide deposits. The unpleasant water odor arises when the by-products of these bacteria’s activities begin to decompose.
