Problems From Tannins in Water
Tannins in your water supply can leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Improve the taste and color of your water with Aquarius Home Services.
- Tannins can affect taste & color
Water that gives off a dull yellow or brownish color may contain a high concentration of tannins. Because they’re common in swamps, marshes, and other bodies of water, they can make your drinking water taste tart, swampy, marshy, or earthy.
- Tannin levels are not regulated
Although government agencies monitor several contaminants in drinking water, tannins are not one of them. Tannins are considered a secondary drinking water standard, meaning these are only recommendations about the color of drinking water.
- Tannins can stain appliances & laundry
Tannins can not only turn your drinking water into an unpleasant yellow color, but they can also stain other household items. Tannins can create yellowish stains in bathtubs, sinks, or toilet fixtures, as well as your clothes, towels, and sheets after doing laundry.
- Tannins are found in MN & WI
Because tannins are commonly found in marshy areas or lakes from decaying vegetation, residents of Minnesota or Wisconsin commonly find them in their water supply. This is especially true during the summer when plants decay faster, but it also applies in the winter.

What’s in Your Water?
Even if your water looks clean, it may contain hidden contaminants. Minerals like calcium and magnesium cause hard water, while iron, chlorine, and sulfur create unpleasant odors and stains. In some cases, harmful bacteria or heavy metals can also be present.
