Pressure drop without running water

Yes sir!
At one point our white shower had a nice orangish hue to it.

My friend made the comment, "how many hookers did you kill in there to get it to look like that?"

Yikes!!! Iron in the shower and toilet were a huge issue at our cabin for years.

Going to a 5micron dual stage filter setup (sediment + carbon) made a big difference, but, we are still chasing it from time to time.

We get rid of the "bloodstains" with the following methods:

Shower
- "The Works" (16oz bottle) and a "magic sponge"
- rinse with water
- hit the shower again (if not "white") with "Scrubby bubbles" or similar foaming cleaner

Toilet
- Shut off water line, empty bowl and plug the bottom with a rubber stopper/mat
- pour in mix of 1/2 cup IronOut/RustOut and 1 gal of cold water
- fill with HOT water till it reaches near the top of the bowl
- After 20min, remove the stopper, let it drain out and then open water line back up
- Repeat for the toilet tank... we put 1/4 cup of IronOut in the tank right before the "last flush" before heading out the door

Plugging the bottom of a toilet bowl is hard.
