One Solution: Installing a Water Filtration System
- Installing a water filtration system is an excellent way to remove rust particles from your water supply. There are various filtration options available, including
- whole-house filters
- under-sink filters
- faucet-mounted filters
- These systems are designed to trap and remove impurities, which provides you with clean and clear water.
Evidence of Rusty Water Laundry Problems:
- Yellow, red, or brown stains on clothes
- Yellowing of white clothes, especially when chlorine bleach is used.
- Clogged steam iron vents and sputtering rusty water stains when ironing.
Solutions for Laundry:
