Iron in the water?

[glen]

How toxic is it?
How can it be fixed?
Won't it clog filters put on the line?

thats daft, unless you've actually got chunks of iron oxide in it, it's GOOD for you

your body does use iron, some times they wont let you give blood if your iron is low

but too much is a bad thing

don't worry about it, it just stains laundry

you have to get a water softener to remove it

You can buy a filter for iron. There are several options... you can buy one large one that filters an entire house or do spot filters on the shower and a sink or two. Too little iron is bad for you but too much can poison you.

Some filters found online
