Why does rust appear in water and is it harmful?

Rusty stains on plumbing fixtures, strange colour of water, metallic aftertaste, rusty deposits in pots and kettles are all symptoms of iron content in water. Drinking rusty water is not only unpleasant, but also dangerous: it may cause problems with the immune system, skin, tooth enamel and digestion.

Iron occurs in water in different forms and they need to be removed with different methods.

418
Large particles of rust

Rust is oxidized iron particles. They are visible to the naked eye and at high concentrations give the water a yellowish, reddish or even brown tint. Most often, rust appears in water due to metal pipes corrosion or after water supply networks repair.

419
Dissolved iron

Water with an excess of dissolved iron looks clear, but after a while it turns yellow, and then a brown residue appears due to the fact that iron is oxidized in air. Despite the benefits of iron found in apples, seafood and other products, its high concentration in dissolved form is dangerous.

Colloidal iron

These are very small particles of iron — so small that they do not precipitate but form a suspension. Colloidal iron gives the water a yellow or reddish hue.

This form of iron is completely removed by reverse osmosis systems and partially by adsorption flow-through filters (up to 50%).

What filter for rust removal should you choose?

Below are a few options for purifying tap water with excess iron. These recommendations will help you choose and buy the right filter.

1. Filters for hard and rusty water

Reverse osmosis filters are a universal solution for water purification from rust, colloidal and dissolved iron.

Reverse osmosis is the most efficient tap water treatment technology. It is used by large manufacturers of bottled water, since it allows to remove even difficult-to-separate impurities, like pesticides, chlorine and its compounds, nitrates, nitrites, bacteria and viruses. After deep purification, a quality RO system adds minerals to make filtered water tastier and healthier. Look at the AQUAPHOR RO-101S model: it is more compact, economical, and eco-friendly than its peers in the same segment.

2. Rust and anti-bacterial protection for families with children

Flow-through adsorption filters with hollow fiber (HF) membrane are an alternative to reverse osmosis filters. They remove rust and up to 50% colloidal iron. At the same time, they protect you from bacteria and most impurities in tap water. You can drink purified water without boiling and use it to prepare baby food.

HF membrane has microscopic pores (around 0.1 micron, which is 1000 times less than a human hair width). Neither bacteria nor cysts will pass through. HF membrane is present, for example, in the ECO Pro filter.

4. For a large family or an office

Filters with performance over 10,000 L are suitable for increased water consumption at home or in the office. They will not remove excess minerals (the cause of scale), but they will eliminate the wide-spread harmful impurities, rust and up to 50% of colloidal iron.
