Feel free to inform your friends about this site! Word of mouth is my best advertising! Eventually when you replace your pipes with either copper or pex (plastic) you will notice a lot more water pressure in your house. Older galvanized lines experience something called tuberculation. This means that the pipes close up with crude as time goes on, making the inside diameter smaller and smaller and restricting the flow. Joanne

If you want information on a 'new' visual at-home testing method for iron, you may wish to read this blog posting: http://watertestingblog.com/2008/08/04/waterworks-total-iron-fe2fe3-visual-test-kit/ An important thing to remember when testing for iron is that it not all tests take into account iron in the +3 form and thus they do not test for 'total iron', but the test listed on the aforementioned page will test for total iron.

Yes, our house has galvanized steel pipes. We have our water supplied by the "mains". I tried your little trick with letting the water sit in a glass and there is a bit of sediment. Looks like I may have to replace the pipes eventually. Thankyou it is great to know that drinking this water is not a eral health hazzard. Thankyou so much - you have eased my mind!
