[Greenbuilding] Iron in water

[George J. Nesbitt]

1. Who makes it?
    To remove excess Iron (if it is staining fixtures or causes metallic 
taste) use a manganese sulphate/potassium filter or a manganese 
greensand filter.
2. There is not such thing as an environmentally friendly water softener.
See the discussion on "Acidic Water" and "Reverse Osmosis" both were in 
the past 2 months.
I highly recommend researching health and water quality issues at 
www.healthywater.com
