“I clean the basin, and the stains come straight back.”
Staining on fittings or laundry is often the first thing a household notices. The marks show the complaint, while the water analysis helps establish whether iron, manganese or another issue needs to be addressed.
Orange or brown marks can be linked to iron; dark staining may involve manganese. These can affect bathroom fittings and washing, but the colour alone does not identify the cause.
How JN can help: JN can review water analysis and the existing filtration, then quote for appropriate iron or manganese treatment.

These substances can be dissolved as well as present in particles. Treatment may need to change their form before removal, so a simple cartridge is not automatically the answer to every staining complaint.
Explain where the marks appear and whether they are new or returning after previously effective treatment. Send current and older analysis where available, with the sampling points identified.
The label, controller and service history can help establish what is fitted. Maintenance, media work or a different arrangement may be discussed after understanding the installation.
