BTW here is a bucket of well water that has just been sprayed into the bucket and has not had time to precipitate the ferrous iron to ferric iron.



Here it is sometime later with precipitation to ferric iron. Although the particles are very small in diameter they are bad news for eggs and small fine gilled fish.



You're looking at about 2.5 mg/l of iron. (Above picture) ( a well north of me has 10 X that much!) Higher suspended amounts have a more red/orange color in the water.

A typical iron hydroxide coating in a toilet tank that does not receive iron free water.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
