Tannins Are More Common Than You Think
Tannins are natural organic compounds that leach into groundwater from decaying leaves, vegetation, and peaty soils. They're especially prevalent in shallow and surface-fed wells throughout West Michigan.
- Yellow or Tea-Colored WaterTannins give water a distinctive amber or brownish tint, even at low concentrations.
- Stained Laundry & FixturesOver time, tannin-laden water leaves yellowish-brown stains on clothing, sinks, tubs, and toilets.
- Musty or Earthy OdorTannins often produce a musty, tea-like smell that lingers in drinking water and throughout the home.
- Off-Tasting WaterEven low tannin levels give water a bitter, astringent taste that makes drinking and cooking unpleasant.
