Sprinklers and Well Water Causing Discoloration on Siding

Aug 02, 2003 2 Replies

Does anyone have any good ideas for removing discoloration on the vinyl siding of a home that is caused by the use of sprinklers? The home is three months old and is connected to a well water system. It appears to have a rust color to it.

This is caused by excessive iron in the well water. Home Depot sells a filter for a little over $100. They also sell the liquid you put into the filter. This liquid is mixed with your well water coming out of the pump. It works and works well. They also sell a liquid to remove the existing rust left by the water.

And they may be selling both for more than your local (or other) independent water treatment dealer.
