Can rust be filtered?!


Question:

Can rust be filtered?

The building I'm in has a water tank. Unfortunately, if it gets drained, the new water becomes rusty. I don't know if its from the pipe or the source, I dunno, they say it gets jiggled or something. I also don't know if it's their responsibility to keep it from draining. As much as I want to tell them to do something about it (i did, only once), we all know the problem will come back later eventually.

We buy drinking water so that's not much of a problem, but we have a kitchen... we wash our plates no where else. During overtimes, I just had to stay here a week or so. So I take a bath, wash my face, wash my hands, etc... in rusty water.

So I'll be suggesting a filtering system or whatever. Is it possible to cleanse water with rust? Would the filtering system get clogged or something or die out earlier than on water that is just filled with other "minerals"?

I still will be filing a complaint to the admin. No one knows when it can be solved, so I have to do something for now.


Answers:

If I was you I would worry about more than rust in the water. Take a sample of water and have pros test it.
