Rust in Water

A Common Result of What Is Known as Acid Water

Suffering with rust in your water, its metallic taste, or reddish-brown stains on your laundry and dishes? New Hampshire residents, suffer no longer. There is a solution: Capital Well Clean Water Center.

The most common culprit behind rusty water is pipe corrosion in your home’s internal plumbing systems. And while the Environmental Protection Agency states that rusty water is safe to drink, who wants to drink water with the taste and smell of rust?

But there is more to the story.

Rusty water occurs when sediment in the pipes is stirred up, or when iron in the water is oxidized by disinfectants. All iron water pipes have trace amounts of rust in them. However, pipe corrosion may also be a result of low pH, a phenomenon often known as acid water.

And acid water can most certainly be a health hazard.

On its own, water with an extremely low pH level may cause eye and skin irritation, as well as exacerbate existing skin conditions. Worse, acid water can lead to the leaching of heavy metals from plumbing systems, substances such as lead, zinc, or copper. The results of excessive ingestion of these metals? Gastrointestinal difficulties, and even a host of neurological and reproductive problems.
