Default rust water, how to cure

Rust can be a combination of several issues in the water, however your
problem doesn't sound like rust. ferric Iron (common in well water)
will cause a pink type filme specifically where water sits and/or
channels. You will need a well analysis to determine the levels.
An Iron filter designed for ferric iron will effectively remove all of
the residue.
Carbon filters and Softeners work fine but only remove specific issue
in the water and neither remove iron or rust effectively.

interesting.
