How is this for rust our water is orange?

It will remove particulate iron over 5 microns in size. If you have dilute iron, you will also need an RFFE20-BB or equivalent filter. If you have over 3 ppm of iron in your water of either variety, you may need to pursue other options. In our case, testing showed that we had 2 ppm of particulate iron and 2 ppm of dilute iron in our water. The combination of the DGD-5005 and RFFE20-BB works perfectly in this application.

I believe the orange water will pass right through this filter. It may stop some suspended iron particles but not dissolved iron, which is what it sounds like you have. Various, special filter systems are most likely needed to deal with this type water.

We live in Florida, so it is humid here too. So far it has not rusted at all. It is working out for me.

Orange is RUST. Calcium is pure white and it's called "lime scale". Lime scale can be tinted with other things... like RUST... mold... bacteria... algae. Rust is orange, mold is black, bacteria is usually beige to yellow, and algae is green. Orange to brown is rust. The elements are corroding in the process due to oxidation.

I have used it for my high iron well. It depends on what you mean "by a lot". Based on what I've experienced, I would estimate that if you have iron in the range of &lt;10ppm, using this filter housing with the 1 micron cartridges will yield you water that is clear. How long that cartridge will last depends on just how many ppm you have. I tried 5 micron and higher filters, and they still left my water orange. I would buy one, install with a 1 micron filter, and test life. If it clogs too fast, I would then buy a second unit and install it in series with the first one. Have the first pass filter running a 10-50u filter, then a 1u in the second pass filter. This of course assumes your water is free of chemicals, biological/bacterial contaminants, etc.

Hi Daniel,I got mine on April 21st. I'm using it daily ever since.I just checked it, and there was no sign of rust inside it.Note: I fill it with water from the reverse osmosis purifier only. Maybe that's why I haven't got any rust.ibraheem

We have had no trouble with rust to date. The sink was installed just over a year ago. We do not use any harsh cleansers that would mar the surface though.

No rust so far. We Take it in shower every other day. Dry all off well when done.

I have not seen any rust yet and I purchased it in December 2013. So far no issues, but the suction on the bottom is not working well, but it is not needed.

I have had mine for several months and the tip where the water comes out does have some calcium deposits on it but no rust. I don't see it as a problem, but a quick scrub with lime-away and a good rinse should fix it.

The juicer is very easy to clean, all parts can be easily removed and washed. I have had the juicer for several seasons, and have experienced no rust to date.

I've had mine for about 4 months now and use it regularly, and haven't seen any rust yet!

Very easy to clean. All parts that come in contact with oranges or juice are removable and washable. The rest is just wiped off. At this point, I see no visible signs of rust.

It is recommended (and I do!) use distilled water...very inexpensive and I've seen no rust at all.
