💧Are you seeing black or dark brown stains in your sinks, tubs, toilets or laundry?
You may have manganese in your water.
Manganese is a naturally occurring mineral that’s common in water. While small amounts are normal, higher levels can cause:
🔹 Learning/behavioral problems in infants and memory/motor skills problems in all ages
🔹 Dark staining on sinks, tubs, and toilets
🔹 Black or brown spots on laundry
🔹 Metallic or unpleasant taste in drinking water
🔹 Buildup inside plumbing fixtures and appliances
The good news is this problem can usually be treated with the right equipment.
At Lloyd’s Ideal Plumbing, we can:
✔ Test your water
✔ Identify if manganese (or other minerals) are present
✔ Recommend the right filtration or treatment system for your home
✔ Install and maintain the equipment so your water stays clean and clear
If your water is leaving stains or just doesn’t seem right, a water test is a great first step.
