| We continually contend with large amounts of iron in our spring water. As soon as the water is exposed to air, the iron precipitates and becomes non-toxic. There is staining and precipitated crud to deal with. The worst part is the iron-loving bacteria which grow on the precipitate. Its becomes a mass of orange/brown slime which can clog filters. The fish do not seem to care or show any sympathy for our plight.
