Metallic-Tasting Water

A metallic taste may relate to iron, manganese, copper, low pH, plumbing materials, or water that has been sitting in pipes. Note whether the taste occurs at every tap and in hot, cold, or first-draw water. Testing helps separate source-water conditions from plumbing contributions. Treatment should follow the cause and concentration, not taste alone.
