Rusty Sinks in Largo? Iron in Your Water | AOK Water Services
Are you constantly scrubbing orange or reddish-brown stains out of your sinks, tubs, or toilets?
You’re not alone.
That’s not just rusty water—it’s a sign of high iron levels in your water, and it’s a common problem here in Largo, especially in homes with private wells.
What Causes Iron in Your Water?
Iron is naturally found in Florida’s soil and groundwater.
When it dissolves into your water supply, it shows up in two forms:
- Clear-water iron that’s invisible at first but stains after exposure to air
- Red-water iron that’s already oxidized and causes visible discoloration instantly
Even small amounts of iron can lead to stains, foul taste, and damage to your appliances and plumbing.
Why Iron is More Than Just a Nuisance
If your water contains iron, you’ll notice:
- Reddish-orange stains on sinks, tubs, and toilets
- Metallic taste in your drinking water
- Clogged showerheads and faucets
- Clothes that come out of the washer with rust-colored streaks
- Reduced lifespan for water heaters and washing machines
Worse yet, iron can combine with certain types of bacteria in your well, forming slimy buildups that are harder to clean and treat.
