Can an iron leak in well water cause breakage in hair?

There is no such thing as an "iron leak" in well water. Iron is almost always present in varying amounts in well water because there is a lot of iron in the ground.Whether or not it can cause this hair complaint is unknown to me and I would suggest that is a question to be asked of a doctor or a hair specialist.There is no such thing as an "iron leak" in well water.

How much iron is in water?

Pure (or distilled) water does not contain iron. If the water has travelled through an iron pipe, it will dissolve some iron. Well water or water from many other sources contains some iron because the soil contains some iron compounds, which can dissolve. Sea water contains iron. But the actual amount varies quite a bit.


How do you clean out iron from a well?

You can't remove the iron from your well specifically because the iron leeches into the well from the surrounding soil. What you can do is use a filtration and water softening sytem to help reduce the iron content of the water being used inside the home (cooking, bathing, drinking, etc...). Filtering the water for your garden hose is pointless, however, as all you'll be doing is recycling the iron back into the soil.
