Default brass colored stains in lavatory and kitchen

"Frank Thompson" wrote in message

Something in the water turning drains & area surrounding drains in sinks
to become stained a brass color. What could it be? Water is from well.


Rust. The dissolved "black iron" in the well water turns to "red iron
(rust") when exposed to oxygen.

Anticipating your next question, any acid will get rid of it. Phosporic
acid is commonly used, generally in CLR or similar ptoducts.
