Manganese Water Problem in Saskatoon, SK
Innovative Solutions for Reducing Manganese in Water
The presence of manganese in groundwaters, like iron, is generally attributed to the dissolution of rocks and minerals, chiefly oxides, sulfates, carbonates, and silicates that contain some degree of manganese. Manganese is fairly found alone in a water source, it is generally found in conjunction with iron. High quantities of manganese in drinking water can potentially be harmful to health, even though it is an essential component for human and plant health in lower doses.
While oxidized manganese is a dark brown, accumulations on a surface will also appear as black. This is why manganese-bearing water may be referred to as “black water.” A quick clue to the presence of manganese in a water supply is the occurrence of a black stain on the inside of the toilet. You may also notice brownish-red staining around water using fixtures, and an off-taste or odor.
Negative health affects may result from chronic exposure to excessive quantities of manganese. Pregnant women, young children, and infants are especially at risk. It is important to get your water tested if you suspect you have manganese in your water.
While local authorities and regulatory agencies work to clean up manganese in drinking water, protect your home and family by having your water tested and a water treatment system installed.
