“We thought the water on our new farm was good until we started to use it. It was murky yellow & brownie. We knew it wasn’t quite right.

Lately we've been seeing water treatment systems advertised (often under the banner of "chemical free") for the rural New Zealand market which treat iron contamination but make no mention of addressing manganese.
