Do You Have Discolored Tap Water?

Water discoloration issues are usually aesthetic in nature, but we advise testing to determine the cause of the discoloration. Our brown water treatment can help prevent any health problems. You might be wondering what discolored tap water is and how it occurs. Some of the more common water discoloration causes are when a water main breaks or after water system maintenance work. This is caused by sediment and mineral deposits in the pipes that can be stirred up when the water is turned off and then back. If you notice any changes in color or cloudiness in your water, you will want to investigate our colored water treatment services. There are many different and unnatural colors that can arise in your water supply that shouldn’t. Below you will find the likely meaning behind a water’s unusual color.

Types of Water Discoloration

Red, Brown, or Orange Water

These colors are usually caused by iron staining or rust. They may result from well water itself, corrosion of steel casing or be caused within the infrastructure. Thankfully, brown water treatment works for all of these.

Green or Blue Staining

These colors are typically caused by corrosion of copper plumbing or fixtures. There are tests to determine if this staining is due to pH imbalance or even improper grounding.

Dark Brown or Black Water

Manganese in the water, manganese-rich sediment trapped in the system and infrastructure corrosion are possible causes of this dark discoloration.

White or Milky Water

Often, these colors are caused by tiny air bubbles that disappear quickly and are not a health threat. This coloration may be caused by a well issue. Testing is recommended if the color does not disappear as the water settles.
