| Iron Bacteria
- A non-health threatening but nuisance organism that thrives on
iron as its food source. It can colorize in water systems
by showing up intermittently as an undefined reddish-brown
mass. It usually appears as a slick film on the surface
only of water in an untreated (no Tidy bowl and such) toilet
tank. It severely effects water quality and the operation
of water treatment equipment if left unaddressed. Presence
is expressed as positive or negative. Please note - it may
be necessary to double check sites with marginal samples. | |
