What Are Tannins?
A tannin is a type of natural organic compound found in decaying vegetation and soils, which often seeps into groundwater sources. While not harmful to health, they can impart a yellowish or brownish tint to water, leading to unsightly stains on laundry, fixtures, and an unpleasant taste. If you’ve noticed such discoloration or off-flavors in your water, tannins might be the culprit. Don’t worry– our water softeners can remove those unwanted tannins and leave your water crystal clear!
Understanding Tannins in Water
Tannins are more prevalent in surface water sources like lakes and rivers but can also affect shallow wells, especially those influenced by surface runoff. Their presence indicates that water has passed through decaying organic matter, picking up these compounds along the way.
