Manganese can affect your home in several ways.
Damaged Pipes
Manganese forms a brown coating that builds up as scale in pipes, which can damage plumbing components, clog pipes, reduce water flow, and make your water system less efficient, as well as water-using appliances.
You may find yourself dealing with manganese scale at concentrations as low as 0.2 ppm.
Staining Appliances
The brown-black stains caused by manganese on whiteware, dishes, and clothing are not easily removed with soap. Instead, soap can make the stains worse.
The presence of this contaminant can also lead to the development of manganese bacteria that feed on the metal ions and form slime and sludge in toilet seats and sinks.
Reduced Water Pressure
Manganese scale, like iron scale, can clog pipes, water heaters, water softeners, and pressure tanks, affecting water pressure throughout the house.
High Home Costs
All of these problems caused by manganese in your water supply can be a burden on your home maintenance budget.
Replacing damaged parts and appliances can cost you a lot of money. And low water pressure and clogged pipes can add to your water bill.
Using our manganese filters can effectively prevent this.
