Red, brown, orange or black staining of fixtures

A reddish-brown staining usually means you have elevated levels of iron in your water. This is most often a result of naturally occurring levels of iron in your water source. Black staining is usually from manganese, often found in conjunction with iron. Neither iron nor manganese are considered to have adverse health effects in low-moderate levels, but do leave unsightly staining.
