Including filter system and high-performance Rust filter.
In Craggs households, rust often appears as orange-brown stains on sinks, tubs and toilets and as gritty sediment in faucet screens. It usually comes from corroding pipes, an aging water heater, or iron picked up before water reaches your house. Known as iron oxide or iron particles, this material can settle out of water, discolor clothing, and make cleaning a recurring hassle. Some homeowners also report a metallic taste or cloudy water when sediment gets stirred up.
Because rust is made of solid iron particles rather than dissolved iron, it behaves differently in home plumbing around Craggs. You might notice it more after a mainline repair, pressure changes, or when water that’s been sitting in pipes suddenly flows and stirs sediment loose. Even if it’s not a direct health risk, the staining and equipment wear it causes can be aggravating — especially when it keeps coming back. The best course is to stop those particles before they spread to every tap and appliance.
For rust already present as particles, the most effective single solution is a whole-house sediment filter with a fine micron rating. Installed where water enters a Craggs home, this filter physically captures iron oxide and other suspended solids before they reach plumbing fixtures, appliances, and showerheads. That helps cut down on orange staining, gritty buildup, and clogged aerators. It’s a straightforward fix when the issue is iron particles rather than dissolved iron.
A depth-style sediment cartridge is often the better choice because it traps particles throughout the media instead of just on the surface, improving holding capacity and reducing how often it clogs. Picking the correct micron size is important: too large and rust will pass through, too small and the filter can restrict flow as it loads. Mr. Pure Water can help Craggs homeowners select a whole-house sediment filter suited to local water conditions and make maintenance easy; if testing also finds dissolved iron, we can add treatments without replacing the whole system.
