[MR] Pennsic Water

[Alric O'Connor]

To the best of my knowledge, and this is from experience with an iron
problem my dad was having, the only way to actually remove the iron is by a
chelating system (a chemical in special tanks causes the iron to clump up
and participate out.
I am not aware of a filtration system that is able to do that particular
task.
Of course if there is a water expert or chemist in the house I may be
corrected.
