Extension Circular 507
IRON WATER Control for the Home
Harvey Wilke, School of Civil Engineering, and Ruth Hutcheson, Extension Home Management
Iron or “red” water is one of the most annoying water problems experienced by many households. There may be numerous causes of iron water; its chemical nature may be organic or inorganic—in some cases it may be a bacteriological problem. It is frequently associated with other water problems such as manganese, sulfur and hardness. Since it is a complex problem, the cause of red water may be difficult to determine. The kind of treatment needed may require considerable study and experimentation.
Manganese is frequently associated with iron water. The manganese causes black stains while
iron causes red stains. Most of what is said in this circular pertaining to occurrence and treatment of iron water can be applied equally well to manganese-bearing water.
Occurrence in Indiana
Much of the ground water of Indiana contains dissolved iron (or manganese). When water percolates through the earth, it may dissolve iron from iron-bearing geologic deposits. In some areas the iron content of the ground water may be very high while an adjoining property may have little
